Murphy first played Gaelic games as a schoolboy and won his first medal with Glounthaune NS in a school's league in 1923. He progressed to adult level with the Glanmire-Sarsfields Gaelic football and hurling clubs and won six East Cork JFC titles in a nine-year period before winning a Cork JFC title in 1937. Murphy also won a Kelleher Shield with Glanmire in 1940.[1]

Murphy first appeared on the inter-county scene with Cork as a member of the junior team. He won a Munster JHC medal in 1929.[2] Murphy later played alongside his brothers Tom and Jim with the senior team and made a number of appearances in tournament and challenge games.

Murphy served as treasurer of the East Cork Board between 1944 and 1947 and was his club's board delegate for a number of years.[3] He also served as secretary of the Sarsfields club and was club president at the time of his death.[4]

Murphy was also involved in team management and coaching and was a selector on numerous inter-county teams. His first success was in 1951 when he was part of the selection committee for Cork's All-Ireland MHC triumph. Murphy was a senior team selector the following year as Cork claimed the All-Ireland SHC title. He was a junior team selector for All-Ireland JHC triumphs in 1955 and 1958. Murphy's last inter-county success was an All-Ireland U21HC title in 1973. He was also a selector when the Imokilly senior football team won Cork SFC titles in 1984 and 1986.
