Buckley made his first appearance for the team during the 1934 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1941 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, one Munster medal and two National League medals. An All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion, Buckley captained the team to the All-Ireland title in 1941.
At club level Buckley was an eight-time county club championship medalist with Glen Rovers.
