Michael Bond (born 1948) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Galway senior team.
After training the Galway minor, under-21 and junior teams, he managed Offaly to All-Ireland success in 1998.
From his early years, Bond had been involved in coaching and training teams at club colleges and inter-county levels.
[citation needed] After declining an invitation to train the Galway senior team at the end of 1983, Bond took charge of the junior side in 1984.
[citation needed] Bond was appointed manager of the Offaly senior team in July 1998 following the resignation of "Babs" Keating after a 3-10 to 1-11 Leinster final defeat by Kilkenny.
When Bond took over it looked as if Offaly's championship hopes were in disarray, however, they overcame Antrim in the All-Ireland quarter-final and qualified to meet Clare in the semi-final.
[4] Following Offaly's exit from the 1999 championship at the All-Ireland semi-final stage, Bond stepped down as manager.
