Zach Tuohy (born 10 December 1989) is an Irish former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Geelong Football Club and Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Tuohy grew up in Portlaoise, County Laois, Ireland, and played Gaelic football before making a code switch to Australian rules football. He is regarded as one of the greatest Irish players in the history of the AFL, with the highest number of games played of any non-Australian born player.
In 2022, Tuohy and Mark O'Connor (from Kerry) became the second and third Irish players in AFL history to win a premiership by winning the 2022 AFL Grand Final with Geelong. Tadhg Kennelly won the first for Ireland in 2005 with the Sydney Swans.[1]
