Former Cork star Juliet Murphy will be officially inducted into the Ladies Gaelic Football Association's Hall of Fame at the TG4 All-Star awards night on Saturday 15 November.
The Donoughmore and Cork legend’s inclusion is a recognition of a career that not only delivered unprecedented success on the field, but also inspired a generation of players who followed in her footsteps.
Murphy’s career spanned almost two decades at the highest level and during that time she established herself as one of the finest players in the sport, and one of the greatest midfielders of all time.
From the late 1990s until her retirement in 2013, she was a central figure in Cork’s emergence as the dominant force in the sport. Her leadership and consistency were vital as the county rose to unprecedented heights, beginning with their breakthrough All-Ireland senior title in 2005.
That first triumph was particularly symbolic for Murphy, who captained Cork to victory and lifted the Brendan Martin Cup for the first time in the county’s history.
She went on to captain Cork again in 2006 and 2007, leading them to a remarkable three-in-a-row. In total, Murphy collected eight All-Ireland senior medals, an achievement that places her firmly among the game’s greats.
Beyond All-Ireland glory, her honours list is formidable. She has six TG4 All-Star awards, a TG4 Players’ Player of the Year accolade in 2011, multiple National League crowns and countless Munster championship titles to her name.
At club level, Murphy was a senior All-Ireland club medallist with Donoughmore in 2001 and 2003.
