Oisín McConville

Oisín McConville (; born 13 October 1975) is an Irish Gaelic football manager and former player. He has been manager of the Wicklow county team since 2022. McConville played at senior level for the Armagh county team in the 1990s and 2000s. He won an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal, seven Ulster Championships and a National League title with the county. He was also awarded two All Stars.

McConville played club football for Crossmaglen Rangers and won six All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championships, ten Ulster Senior Club Football Championships and 16 Armagh Senior Football Championships with the club.

McConville played as forward. He was one of the game's best point-scorers and an expert free-taker. He was consistently a high scorer for Armagh and is the all-time top Ulster scorer in Championship football with a tally of 11–197 (230). He is widely considered one of Armagh's best ever players. In 2009, to mark the 125th anniversary of the Gaelic Athletic Association, he was named by The Irish News as one of the all-time best 125 footballers from Ulster. He now works as an addiction counsellor.

Background McConville was born in Crossmaglen, South Armagh. His uncle Gene Morgan played for Armagh and played in the 1953 All-Ireland final. This equalled the national record for consecutive county football championships set by Ballina Stephenites of Mayo between 1904 and 1916. He also won the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship seven times (1996, 1998, 1999, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008), and the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship six times (1997, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2011 and 2012) with the club. McConville, along with Paul Hearty, John McEntee, Tony McEntee, Francie Bellew and Cathal Short is one of six Cross players to have shared in all these successes since 1996.

Managerial career McConville managed Crossmaglen, Meath GAA club Seneschalstown and Dundalk IT, and was managing Monaghan GAA club Inniskeen Grattans when he was appointed manager of the senior Wicklow county team ahead of the 2023 season. His term as Wicklow manager was extended by a further two seasons in July 2025.

In 2026, he led Wicklow to the Tailteann Cup, defeating Down.
