Andrew O'Shaughnessy (born 30 November 1984 in Kilmallock, County Limerick) is an Irish sportsperson.

He plays hurling with his local club Kilmallock and was a member of the Limerick senior inter-county team from 2002 to 2011.

O'Shaughnessy enjoyed a very successful hurling career, beginning by capturing three Dean Ryan Cup titles in-a-row in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

[2] After completing a successful Leaving Certificate at St. Colman's O'Shaughnessy became a cadet in the Irish Army.

As a member of the club's minor hurling team he captured three consecutive county titles in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

Three of their 11 points were scored in a gripping last 10 minutes, the previous 4–9 had come from the hurley of Andrew O'Shaughnessy in a glorious 50-minute spell of individual brilliance.

O'Shaughnessy first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Limerick minor hurling team in the early 2000s.

Both sides drew level on that occasion, however, Limerick lost the replay and continued their streak of bad luck that had lasted since 2001 when they were dumped out of the championship in the All-Ireland qualifiers.

In spite of coming close to creating some hurling upsets, defeat seemed to be Limerick's lot.

In 2006 Limerick remained unbeaten throughout the entire National Hurling League campaign and qualified for the final against Kilkenny.

[11] These two sides later met again in the All-Ireland semi-final, however, manager Richie Bennis had done his homework and masterminded a magnificent 5–11 to 2–15 victory over the Munster champions.

Unfortunately, Limerick got off to a bad start with goalkeeper Brian Murray letting in two goals by Eddie Brennan and Henry Shefflin in the first ten minutes.

[15] The newly structured qualifier system pitted O'Shaughnessy's side against Offaly in a must-win game.
