Born in Tullaroan, County Kilkenny, Maher first played competitive hurling in his youth. He made his senior debut during the 1893 championship and became a regular player over the next decade. During that time Maher won one All-Ireland medal and eight Leinster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on four occasions.
At club level Maher was a six-time championship medallist with Tullaroan and Johnstown.[2]
