Born in Ballina, County Tipperary, O'Brien first played competitive Gaelic games during his schooling at Nenagh CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of fifteen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor teams as a dual player before later joining the under-21 sides. He made his senior football debut during the 2013 championship. O'Brien immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen.

At club level O'Brien is a one-time championship medallist in the intermediate grade as a hurler with Ballina.

O'Brien made his debut for the Tipperary hurlers in the 2014 Waterford Crystal Cup final victory against Clare and was a member of the Tipperary hurling panel in 2016 which went on to win the All-Ireland title. He made his debut as a late substitute against Clare on 3 April 2016. He made his first league start for Tipperary against Dublin on 11 February 2017 in the 2017 National Hurling League.[2]

In October 2017, O'Brien confirmed that he will be playing with the Tipperary senior football team in 2018 after two years with the Tipperary hurling team.[3]

On 22 November 2020, Tipperary won the 2020 Munster Senior Football Championship after a 0-17 to 0-14 win against Cork in the final. It was Tipperary's first Munster title in 85 years.[4][5]
