Micheál "Haulie" O'Sullivan (born 11 March 1977) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer who played as a midfielder for the Cork senior team.[1]

Born in Rosscarbery, County Cork, O'Sullivan first played competitive Gaelic football whilst at school at Mount St. Michael Secondary School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1998-99 National Football League. O'Sullivan went on to play a key role for the team over the next six years, winning one Munster medal and one National Football League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level O'Sullivan is an All-Ireland medallist in the intermediate grade with Carbery Rangers. He has also won one Munster and one championship medal in the intermediate grade, as well as one Munster medal and one championship medal in the junior grade. At senior level O'Sullivan has won one championship medal with divisional side Carbery.[2]

Throughout his career O'Sullivan made 16 championship appearances for Cork. He retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 2004 championship.[citation needed]

In retirement from play O'Sullivan has become involved in coaching and team management. He is the current manager of club side Carbery Rangers, while he is also heavily involved in coaching at Clonakilty Community College.[citation needed]
