James Byrne (born 15 April 1890) was an Irish Gaelic football administrator, referee and player who enjoyed a lengthy career as a left corner-back with the Wexford senior team. He joined the team in 1913 and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until 1925.
Kennelly is regarded as one of Wexford's greatest-ever players.[1] He won four consecutive All-Ireland winners' medals and seven Leinster winners' medals. An All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions, Byrne captained the team to the All-Ireland title in 1918.
At club level Byrne enjoyed a lengthy career with Geraldine O'Hanrahan's.
