Joe McQuillan (original) (raw)

Joe McQuillan is a Gaelic football referee. He is a member of the Kill Shamrocks club in County Cavan. McQuillan has refereed four All-Ireland finals: the 2011 decider between Dublin and Kerry, the 2013 decider between Dublin and Mayo, the 2017 decider between Dublin and Mayo and the 2021 decider between Mayo and Tyrone. He was the third Cavanman to referee an All-Ireland final, following Fintan Tierney of Butlersbridge (1972) and Brian Crowe of Cavan Gaels (2006). Tierney, though, was originally from Longford. In 2022, Martin Breheny named him among "five of the best football referees".
