Norberg made his debut on the inter-county scene when he was selected for the Cork minor team in 1966.
By this stage Norberg was close to the Cork senior team and he made his debut during the 1969 Oireachtas Cup.
He enjoyed some success at underage levels before winning his first senior county championship title in 1971.
The success continued in 1975 with Norberg winning a third set of county and provincial honours with his club.
'The Rockies' narrowly missed out on a third All-Ireland title after a defeat by James Stephens of Kilkenny.
A fourth county medal followed for Norberg in 1978, however, he missed the club’s Munster and All-Ireland victories.
[citation needed] Following his performances in the minor and under-21 grades Norberg joined the Cork senior hurling team in 1971.
After guiding his team to the National Hurling League title, Norberg later lined out in his first Munster final.
A Kilkenny fight-back saw the team draw level with Cork and score a further seven points without reply to capture a 3-24 to 5-11 victory.
Norberg was relegated to the substitutes' bench again in 1973 before leaving the inter-county set-up at the end of the year.
