Maher first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kilkenny minor hurling team that beat Galway in the 2008 All-Ireland minor final before later captaining the team in his second and final season.[2]

Maher was also a member of the extended panel of the Kilkenny under-21 hurling team that lost out to Clare in the 2012 All-Ireland under-21 final, having earlier lined out for the senior team in the 2011 Walsh Cup.[3] After transferring to the St Jude's club, Maher also earned selection to the Dublin senior hurling team.[4] He later joined the East Cavan Gaels club and made his Cavan senior hurling team debut in 2022.[5] Maher was part of the East Cavan Gaels team that beat Cootehill Celtic to win the Cavan SHC title in 2024.[6]
