Noel Furlong (born in Dublin, Ireland) is a professional poker player.
Furlong began playing poker in 1984, and in his first trip to the World Series of Poker, he placed 6th in the main event. Ten years later Furlong's biggest win would come in the 1999 WSOP main event, in which he won $1 million.
As of 2004 he is the top money winning Irish player in the world, with career tournament winnings of over $1.1 million.
Furlong owns a carpet distribution company that does over $100 million worth of business a year. Because of his involvement with the carpet business he doesn't play poker frequently, usually only the WSOP and tournaments in Ireland and western Europe.
Furlong is also a horse trainer.
