Tony O'Donoghue is an Irish sports commentator and Group Soccer Correspondent[1] for RTÉ, Ireland's national radio and television broadcaster.

O'Donoghue also contributed to the music magazine Hot Press during the 1980s, and acted as manager of Cypress Mine, a rock group from his native Cork.

He gave a sideline report on Feargal Logan's ankle injury to television viewers in between Charlie Redmond's first and second sending off during the 1995 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.

He covered the Olympic Games in Barcelona (1992), Atlanta (1996), featuring a memorable (and emotional)[3] trackside interview with Sonia O'Sullivan, Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004).

[3] O'Donoghue had many heated interviews with Martin O'Neill when he was Ireland manager, especially during the (unsuccessful) 2016–2017 qualifying campaign for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
