Pat Ryan Addresses Cork All-Ireland SHC Half-Time Row Speculation After Stepping Down
Pat Ryan led Cork to a league title after 27 years and a Munster Championship, but chose family reasons to step down after two All-Ireland final losses.
- Pat Ryan announced his departure from the role of Cork senior hurling manager on August 23, 2025, concluding a tenure that began in July 2022 and included leading the team to two consecutive All-Ireland final appearances.
- Ryan made this decision after consulting with his family and feeling it was best to seek a different challenge following five years managing Cork teams overall.
- Under Ryan, Cork won their first National League title in 27 years, ended Limerick's Munster Championship dominance, but lost the 2024 final to Clare and the 2025 final to Tipperary.
- Ryan expressed gratitude to his loyal backroom staff and praised his players' dedication while acknowledging that 2025 was emotionally difficult due to his brother Ray's passing and community support.
- The Cork county board has started the search for a new manager, with U20 All-Ireland winner Ben O'Connor likely to be the leading candidate to succeed Ryan.
