Born in Bennettsbridge, County Kilkenny, Treacy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-three when he made his senior debut in the 1959 championship. Treacy went on to play a semi-regular part for Kilkenny over the next few years, and won one All-Ireland medal and two Leinster medals.

At club level Treacy played with Bennesttsbridge, winning six championship medals.

His younger brother, Jim Treacy, also hurled with Kilkenny and captained the team to the All-Ireland title in 1967.

In retirement from playing Treacy became involved in administrative affairs and served with the Bennettsbridge club and the Kilkenny County Board.
