Intercounty Football

Eoghan made his championship debut for Dublin coming on at halftime in place of Kevin McMenamon. He had an immediate impact on the game, causing trouble for the Wexford defence in Dublin's comeback in the Leinster quarter final.[1] O'Gara made a substitute appearance for Dublin in the Leinster semi-final defeat to Meath, which proved to be Dublins largest defeat ever to their rivals.[2] This ended Dublin's five year reign as Leinster champions.

Dublin and O'Gara went on to play in the qualifiers at the second round stage. O'Gara scored his first inter county point for Dublin against Tipperary in the second round of the 2010 qualifiers at Croke Park.[3] O'Gara scored a 2-01 in Dublin's victory over Leinster finalists Louth in the final round of the qualifiers at Croke Park.[4] This was Eoghan's highest scoring game for Dublin and his first championship goal. Eoghan scored a crucial goal against Tyrone during the 2010 All-Ireland quarter final victory.[5] Eoghan scored 3-02 in the 2010 All-Ireland football championship.[6]
