Peter Cusack (born 27 January 1977 in Young, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league player for Hull FC in the Super League. His position of choice is at prop. Cusack previosuly played for the Sydney Roosters and South Sydney Rabbitohs in the Australian National Rugby League (NRL) competition.

Cusack made his first grade debut with the Sydney Roosters in 1998. A front-rower, Cusack was one of the last remaining top level league players to hold a job outside football, working part time as a plumber[citation needed]. He played in four Grand finals for the Roosters (2000, 2002–04) and was a member of the premiership-winning 2002 team. He was also a member of the Roosters side that won the World Club Challenge in 2003. In 2002 Cusack won the Roosters award for the Clubman of the Year.

In 2005, Cusack joined the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He served as a co-captain at the club, along with Roy Asotasi and David Kidwell.

Cusack signed with Hull FC in November, 2007, on a two year contract. [1]
