Inter-county

Maloney’s hurling skills were quickly spotted by the inter-county selectors and he soon joined the Tipperary minor hurling team. He won a Munster minor medal in 2001 and played at wing-back on the Tipperary team which won the Munster under-21 hurling title in 2003. Maloney later joined the Tipperary senior hurling team, making his debut in the Munster Championship against Clare. Since then he has played in two Munster finals without success.
