Kieran Dempsey is an Australian former head coach of North Sydney who played in the National Rugby League competition.
Midway through 1999, Louis departed the club after 7 seasons in charge and Dempsey was promoted to be the new head coach.
Dempsey's first win came in round 25 1999 against Melbourne at North Sydney Oval which would also prove to be the club's last first grade game played at the ground.
At the conclusion of 1999, Norths fell victim to the NRL's rationalisation policy and were forced to merge with arch rivals Manly-Warringah to form the Northern Eagles.
[3] On 29 September 2024, Dempsey coached North Sydney in their 2024 NSW Cup Grand Final loss against Newtown.
