Peter Lawlor (born 1982 in Croom, County Limerick) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Croom and has been a member of the Limerick senior inter-county team since 2002.
Lawlor plays his club hurling with his local club in Croom and has enjoyed some success. As an under-age player he captured played in the minor county final in 1998, however, Croom were defeated by Adare. Lawlor later moved onto the club's under-21 team where he won a county title in this grade in 2001. Croom's dominance at minor and under-21 levels bore fruit at senior level in 2007 when the club qualified for the final of the senior county championship Unfortunately, Croom were completely trounced by Adare on a score line of 0-14 to 0-5.
Lawlor first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Limerick under-21 team in the early years of the new century. In 2001 Lawlor joined the team and he quickly picked up his first Munster title. Limerick later qualified for the All-Ireland final where Wexford were the opponents. In spite of leaving in two goals Limerick emerged victorious by 0-17 to 2-10. It was Lawlor's first All-Ireland under-21 winners' medal.
2002 saw Lawlor being appointed captain of the under-21 team with Limerick reaching the provincial decider once again. After an exciting contest with Tipperary, which included extra-time, saw Limerick win by 1-20 to 2-14. It was his second consecutive Munster under-21 winners' medal. For the third year in-a-row Limerick lined out in the All-Ireland final with Galway providing the opposition once again. Limerick kept a clean sheet once again as Limerick powered to a 3-17 to 0-8 victory. It was Lawlor's second consecutive All-Ireland under-21 winners' medal while he also had the honour of receiving the cup.
