Brian Ó Beaglaoich (born 1996) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he plays with An Ghaeltacht, divisional side West Kerry and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.

Career[edit]

Ó Beaglaoich first played Gaelic football to a high standard as a schoolboy at Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne. He was part of the school team that won back-to-back Hogan Cup titles in 2014 and 2015, with Ó Beaglaoich lining out as joint-captain for the latter victory.[1][2] He later played with University College Cork, and was part of the Sigerson Cup-winning team in 2019.[3]

By that stage, Ó Beaglaoich had also progressed to adult level with the An Ghaeltacht club, having earlier enjoyed success in the under-21 grade. He won a Kerry IFC title in 2017, before later claiming a Munster Club IFC medal after a defeat of St Senan's in the final.[4][5]

Ó Beaglaoich first appeared on the inter-county scene with Kerry as a member of the minor team that beat Donegal in the 2014 All-Ireland minor final.[6] A three-year association with the under-21 team yielded a Munster U21FC medal in 2017.[7]

Following his first season with the under-21 team, Ó Beaglaoich was drafted onto the senior team in 2016. He won the first of seven Munster SFC medals in eight seasons that year.[8] Ó Beaglaoich was at left wing-back when Kerry were beaten by Dublin in the 2019 All-Ireland final replay.[9] He won three consecutive National League medals from 2020 to 2022, having earlier won the title as a member of the extended panel in 2017. Ó Beaglaoich won an All-Ireland SFC medal after a defeat of Galway in the 2022 final.[10]
