Michael C. Minogue (1936 – 13 December 2024) was an Irish hurling coach and player. At club level he played with Roscrea and at inter-county level he played with the Tipperary senior hurling team. Minogue also served as a manager, coach and selector with various club and inter-county teams.

Playing career

Minogue played his club hurling with Roscrea at a time when the club had a number of successes. He won five Tipperary SHC medals in a six-years period between 1968 and 1973. Minogue was at midfield when Roscrea won the Munster Club SHC title in 1970, before winning an All-Ireland Club SHC medal in 1971 following Roscrea's 4–05 to 2–05 defeat of St Rynagh's in the final. At inter-county level, he made a number of appearances for the Tipperary senior hurling team in the National Hurling League between 1958 and 1961.

Management career

Minogue began his coaching career at club level with Moneygall and guided them to their first ever Tipperary SHC title in 1975. At inter-county level, he coached Tipperary's minor team to the All-Ireland MHC title in 1976. This began a 15-year association with Tipperary at all levels. At senior level, Minogue was part of the selection panel on a number of occasions, including for Tipperary's National Hurling League success in 1979. He was also part of five All-Ireland U21HC-winning management teams between 1979 and 1989.
