Dual player

Dual player or dual star is a term used in Gaelic games to describe a player who plays both Men's Gaelic football and Hurling or Ladies' Gaelic football and Camogie. The player doesn't necessarily have to play at the same standard in both sports. The number of dual stars at county level has decreased recently due to the increased demands put on the best players of both sports.

These include: Jimmy Barry-Murphy Ray Cummins Liam Currams Brian Murphy Ray Cummins has uniquely won an All star award in both hurling and Gaelic football in the same year, 1971. Ex-Taoiseach Jack Lynch won one football and five hurling All-Irelands for Cork during the 1940s and to this day is the only player in history to have won All-Ireland Senior medals 6 years in a row. In 1990, Teddy McCarthy of Cork became the first (and only as of 2009) player to win both a football and a hurling All-Ireland in the same year. Dual County is a similar term for counties that have teams that play at the same level in both football and hurling.
