Minor and under-21[]

Cahalane first played for Cork as a member of the minor team during the 2014 Munster Championship. He was a member of the extended panel for Cork's unsuccessful championship campaign.[citation needed]

Cahalane was eligible for the minor grade again in 2015 and was promoted to the match-day panel. He was an unused substitute throughout the championship campaign.[citation needed]

Cahalene was drafted onto the Cork under-21 team in advance of the 2017 Munster Championship. He had his first involvement with the team on 13 July 2017 when he was an unused substitute in Cork's 2-17 to 1-19 defeat of Waterford.[2]

On 20 June 2018, Cahalane made his first appearance for the Cork under-21 team when he was introduced as a 44th-minute substitute for Chris O'Leary in a 0-23 to 1-17 defeat of Waterford.[3] On 4 July 2018, Cahalane won a Munster Championship medal after coming on as a 22nd-minute substitute for Darragh Fitzgibbon in Cork's 2-23 to 1-13 defeat of Tipperary in the final.[4] On 26 August 2018, he lined out at midfield when Cork faced Tipperary in the All-Ireland final. Cahalane top scored with 1-03 from play but ended on the losing side following a 3-13 to 1-16 defeat in what was his last game in the grade.[5]

Cahalane made his first appearance for the Cork senior hurling team on 14 January 2018. He lined out at midfield in a 1-23 to 1-13 defeat by Kerry in the pres-season Munster League.[6] Cahalane was later omitted from the Cork panel for the National League.
