After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks at club level, Dunphy eventually joined the Borris-in-Ossory/Kilcotton senior team. He won a Laois SHC title in 2016 after Borris beat Rathdowney–Errill in a final replay.[5]
Dunphy first appeared on the inter-county scene with Laois during an unsuccessful two-year tenure with the minor team.[6][7] He progressed to the under-21 team in 2017.[8] Dunphy also made his senior team debut that season when he came on as substitute in a National Hurling League defeat of Offaly.[9] He secured his first silverware in 2019 when Laois won the Joe McDonagh Cup title after a defeat of Westmeath in the final.[10] He captained Laois to the National Hurling League Division 2A in 2024.[11]
