## Career

In October 2013, McInerney was named the Bord Gais U-21 hurling Player of the Year for 2013.[4] He won an All Star that year.

On 21 July 2024, he started in the half-back line as Clare won the All-Ireland for the first time in 11 years after an extra-time win against Cork by 3-29 to 1-34, claiming their fifth All-Ireland title.[5][6][7] McInerney won his second All Star at the end of the 2024 season.[8]
