Conor McHugh (born April 1994) is an Irish Gaelic footballer and hurler. At club level, he plays with Na Fianna and at inter-county level has lined out at various levels as a dual player with Dublin.
Career
[edit]McHugh first played club hurling and Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with Na Fianna. He progressed to adult level and won back-to-back Dublin SHC medals in 2023 and 2024.[1][2] McHugh later claimed a Leinster Club SHC title, before lining out at full-back in the 2-23 to 0-20 defeat of Sarsfields in the 2025 All-Ireland club final.[3]
At inter-county level, McHugh first played for Dublin as a dual player at minor level. He won consecutive Leinster MHC medals in 2011 and 2012 but faced defeat in the subsequent All-Ireland deciders. McHugh also claimed a Leinster MFC medal and was at corner-forward for Dublin's defeat of Meath in the 2012 All-Ireland minor final.[4] He progressed to under-21 level and won an All-Ireland U21FC title in 2014, as well as being named Player of the Year.[5]
McHugh was a member of the extended training panel of the Dublin senior football team across seven seasons from 2015 to 2021. He made 20 appearances across the National League and Championship but failed to break onto the team or the matchday panel. In spite of this, McHugh claimed four All-Ireland SFC medals as part of a four-in-a-row between 2015 and 2018.[6] His last appearance for the team was in 2021.
