Joseph Dunphy (born 1944) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.[1]
Born in Waterford, Dunphy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel after the 1964 championship. Dunphy immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen, and won one Leinster medal and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions Dunphy won one Railway Cup medal as a non-playing substitute. At club level he is a one-time championship medallist with Mooncoin.
Dunphy's father, Eddie, his uncles, Joe, William and Wattie, and his brother, Dick, all played for Kilkenny at different stages.
Throughout his career Dunphy made 5 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1967 championship.
In retirement from playing Dunphy became involved in team management and coaching. He was a selector with the Kilkenny All-Ireland-winning minor team in 2003.
