At inter-county level, Houlihan first played for Limerick as goalkeeper with the minor team in 2000. He was also drafted onto the under-21 team that year and won three successive All-Ireland U21HC medals, including one as team captain in 2001.[7][8][9] Houlihan made his senior team debut in 2001.[10] He made a number of appearances but left the panel after being replaced as goalkeeper by Brian Murray in 2006.[11] Houlihan made a brief return to the Limerick panel in 2010.[12]
