Mike McCarthy is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on November 27, 1981 in London, London, United Kingdom. Michael McCarthy (born 27 November 1981) is an English-born retired Irish professional rugby union player who was educated at Sedbergh School. He plays his club rugby for the Irish provincial team Leinster Rugby in the Pro14, having joined from rival Irish team Connacht in 2013. He can play in the second row or as a flanker.

McCarthy played only 9 games for Newcastle in the 2006–07 Premiership, but scored a try against the Sale Sharks. He also played 5 times in the Challenge Cup, scoring a try against Petrarca Padova, as Newcastle qualified to the quarter-finals. McCarthy did not feature in the quarter-final loss to Clermont. McCarthy left the Falcons in 2007, having played for the side 74 times.

In his early career McCarthy was part of the English under-age set-up, but later switched his allegiance to Ireland. In January 2011, McCarthy received his first call up for Ireland as part of the squad for the 2011 Six Nations Championship. He was the only uncapped player named in the squad, but did not earn any caps in the tournament. In August that year, however, McCarthy made his Ireland debut in a Rugby World Cup warm-up game against Scotland at Murrayfield.

McCarthy started every one of Connacht’s games, including the team’s first ever win in the competition, in the home game against Harlequins. He also started 19 of Connacht’s games in the Pro 12, the new name for the Celtic League. The following season saw McCarthy play 13 games in the 2012–13 Pro 12, scoring a single try. Connacht also played in that season’s Heineken Cup, this time winning three of their six games, with McCarthy again an ever present. This was McCarthy’s last season with the province however, as it had been announced in December 2012 that McCarthy would join rival Irish province Leinster at the end of the season. He left Connacht having made 134 appearances in his second spell with the team, and 160 appearances overall.

McCarthy made his debut for the Newcastle Falcons on 5 September 2004 against Worcester Warriors, scoring a try as the Falcons won 30–9. He made a total of 21 appearances in the 2004–05 Premiership and scored two tries. That season he helped the team reach the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup, starting all of the group games and scoring a try against the Newport Gwent Dragons. He also played in the quarter-final itself against Stade Français at Parc des Princes, as Newcastle were beaten 48–8 by the eventual runners-up.
