Educated at Christian Brothers College, Cork, Mahony was a CBC rugby and swimming captain, while also playing hurling for the school. He captained the Munster Schools representative rugby team.[1]

Mahony gained an Ireland cap in a match against the 1923 grand slam-winning England team at Leicester, with persistent injuries derailing his career thereafter.[2] He played club rugby for Cork Constitution and Dolphin.[1]
