Paul Caffrey is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Na Fianna club and for the Dublin county team.
Caffrey was a co-selector along with Dave Billings and Paddy Canning when Tommy Lyons was manager of the Dublin football team between from 2001 to 2004.
[6] Dublin eventually won the tie in a replay by beating Meath by 0–16 to 0–12 and thus qualified to play Offaly in the Leinster semi-final.
Caffrey's decision to replace Tomás Quinn with Mark Vaughan as the freetaker proved the vital difference between the sides.
[8] Dublin played Derry in the quarter-final of the all-Ireland series and won the game by 0–18 to 0–15[9] to set up a semi final against Kerry for the first time since 1977.
[11] However, despite securing promotion to Division One and winning a fourth Leinster title, Caffrey resigned in the aftermath of Dublin's 12-point defeat in the All Ireland quarter-final against Tyrone.
In September 2009, Caffrey was selected as the successor to Val Andrews as the manager of Leinster interprovincial championship for entry in the Martin Donnelly Cup.
