Paul Kerrigan (born 16 December 1986) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Cork Premier Championship club Nemo Rangers. A member of the Cork senior football team for 13 seasons from 2008 until 2020, he won seven major trophies in his inter-county career, including the All-Ireland Championship in 2010.
Son of Jimmy Kerrigan, a two-time All-Ireland medal winner with Cork, Kerrigan began his career at club level with Nemo Rangers. He joined the club’s senior team as a 17-year-old in 2004 and has since won five Munster Club Championship titles. Kerrigan has also won 10 Cork County Championship titles from 11 final appearances.
Kerrigan lined out for Cork in three different grades of Gaelic football over a 17-year period. After making his first appearance for the minor team in August 2003, he progressed onto the county under-21 team with whom he won an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship medal in 2007. Kerrigan made his competitive debut for the senior team aged 21 in 2008. His debut season yielded a Munster Championship title. The following four seasons saw Kerrigan win two more Munster Championships, four successive National League titles across two divisions, as well as an All-Ireland Championship title.
