Pat McLoughney (1949 – 30 January 2018) was an Irish hurling selector and player. His league and championship career with the Offaly senior team lasted eleven seasons from 1971 until 1980.[1][2]
Born in Coolderry, County Offaly, McLoughney first played competitive hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Coolderry club. He eventually became a key member of the club's senior team, winning three county senior championship medals.
McLoughney made his debut with the Offaly senior team during the 1970-71 league. Over the course of the following ten years he was a regular member of the team and won a Leinster medal in 1980. McLoughney played his last game for Offaly in November 1980.
In retirement from playing McLoughney became involved in team management and coaching. As a selector with the Offaly senior team at various times between 1992 and 2011, he helped guide the team to All-Ireland titles in 1994 and 1998. McLoughney was also a selector with the Coolderry championship-winning team in 2015.
