John Corcoran (sports administrator)

John Corcoran (16 October 1959 – 19 January 2016) was an Irish Gaelic games administrator.

[1][2] Having played for St Mary's and later become a referee, Corcoran became a member of the St Mary's committee at a young age and was treasurer and secretary of the club in the early 1980s before becoming chairman in 1992.

Prior to assuming the chair of the divisional committee, he had been PRO and vice-chair and also chaired the Munster third-level GAA body, sitting on the Munster Council as a result.

[citation needed] Corcoran managed the Carbery divisional side to the 2004 championship, which brought him to wider attention with the Cork county team.

As a selector under Billy Morgan, Corcoran was part of the management team which won the 2006 Munster SFC title and reached the following year's All-Ireland SFC final, losing to Kerry.
