Stephen Byrne (born 1977) is a former Irish sportsperson. He was the goalkeeper on the Offaly senior hurling team between 1998 and 2003. He won an All-Ireland medal in 1998 as well as an All-Star award. Byrne was also the recipient of the Eircell Young Hurler of the Year award.
1998 - Offaly VS Clare.
In the 3rd game of the Offaly vs Clare saga played in Semple Stadium in Thurles, Byrne had an outstanding game. In the dying minutes of the Semi Final , the ginger haired goalkeeper brought off three top class saves to deny Clare certain goals which would have ensured at least a draw for the Claremen.
He plays his club hurling with Kilcormac / Killoughey GAA club, a club in south Offaly which can be found as you travel along the main road between Birr and Tullamore.
