Three Lowrys.

Three Connors brothers, but not all at the same time. Three Furlongs, but again not at the same time. The Furlongs' service spanned almost 40 years.
Of the 17 Offaly players that played in the 1982 All Ireland final, only 6 of them didn't have a sibling in the field. There were 3 Lowrys, 2 Fitzgeralds, 2 Darbys, 2 Connors, 2 O'Connors


The Subbie

Mid 80's Monaghan
Caulfield brothers ( Fergus & Michaèl)
Murray Brothers (Ciaran & Brendan)
Recent Monaghan
Hughes brothers ( Darren & Kieran )
Wylie brothers ( Drew & Ryan)

3 or more on the same team as per the OP would fairly shorten down this thread.

What about first cousins playing for different counties

SCFC

When Laois won the 1936 Leinster final brothers Bill, Chris, Mick and Jack Delaney played with their uncle Tom also playing at full-back.
Seven Fennelly brothers from Ballyhale all hurled senior with Kilkenny but not sure how many appeared together.

How many of the five McGoldrick brothers from the Port would have played on the same Derry team?
Maybe only 3 at any one time? Good question and an impressive feat.

The Hill is Blue

In the 1960s half of the Kilbride team in Meath seemed to be Quinns, and a number of them were stalwarts of the Meath team. They were hard men.

Can confirm that, for senior championship:
- Kenneth, Trevor and Conor Mortimer played for Mayo against Fermanagh in 2003 qualifiers
- Seamus, Aidan and Conor O'Shea played for Mayo against Sligo and Kerry in 2017

Kevin Ger Sean and Liam Fennelly all played in the 1987 All Ireland Final.
Currently five sets of brothers on the Kilkenny panel (4 on last Saturday's 26)

Derry Optimist

When youngest brother Felix came on as a substitute for Armagh in the 1959 Ulster drawn championship semi final against Cavan at Castleblayney, an unique record was created.When he came on at full back,his brother Michael was on his right and his other brother John was on his left.Thus there were three McKnight brothers on the Armagh full back line! Apparently their other brother James was the best footballer of the quartet but was unavailable as he had joined the priesthood and served most of his ministry in California!
An interesting anecdote re the McKnights!Their sisters, Mary and Bridie, are married to two All Ireland 1960s winners with Down. Mary is married to Kevin O'Neill and Bridie is the wife of P.J. McElroy!

Many Cooneys for Galway?
3 Connolly brothers played on the 1980 all Ireland winning Galway hurling team. John, Joe and Michael.
