Caroline Currid

Career Gaelic games Currid began her involvement as a performance coach at inter-county level within the GAA by approaching the then Tyrone manager Mickey Harte in 2007; he agreed and Currid was brought aboard. The Tyrone team overcame a Kerry team that was favourite to achieve a three-in-a-row run of titles, the Tipperary hurling team had not won a senior All-Ireland for nine years, the Dublin football team had not won a senior All-Ireland for sixteen years, while the Limerick hurling team had not won a senior All-Ireland for forty-five years. The Tipperary and Dublin All-Ireland victories came in the second year of her involvement with the teams. Four years later, Currid sat between Declan Hannon (captain) and John Kiely (manager) to be interviewed by Joanne Cantwell on television after Limerick completed a run of three consecutive All-Ireland SHC titles.

After two years away, during which time she was involved with Maigh Cuilinn's successful bid for the Galway SFC title, as well as her rugby commitments (see below), Currid's return to the Limerick senior hurling team was announced in November 2025.

Outside Gaelic games While working with the Tyrone senior footballers, Currid also worked with rugby union player Paul O'Connell from 2008, doing so until he retired in 2016; though initially not accepting of her ideas when she drove to Limerick to meet him in August 2008, O'Connell remained aware of her work with Tyrone and telephoned her after watching their 2008 All-Ireland SFC victory the following month to inform her that he had changed his mind and wished to work with her.

Currid also worked with David Rudisha, the 800 metres runner from Kenya, before his victory and world record at the 2012 Summer Olympics, focusing on how to maximise performance on competition day.

She has worked with The Celtic Football Club in Scottish association football and, more recently, with Munster Rugby.
