Club
Kennedy plays his club hurling with his local Killenaule club and has enjoyed some success. Kennedy helped the club to win back-to-back county under-21 titles in 2003 and 2004 and he also won a South Senior Hurling medal with the club in 2005. He has yet to win a senior county title.

Kennedy made his senior debut for Tipperary in the 2007 National Hurling League game against Antrim.
