Born in Cahernashelleeney, Claregalway, County Galway, Cullinane first played competitive hurling whilst at school at St. Mary's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Galway minor team. He made his senior debut in the 1954 championship. Cullinane went on to play a bit part for Galway over the next few years, however, he enjoyed little success in terms of silverware. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.[citation needed]
As a member of the Connacht inter-provincial team at various times, Cullinane enjoyed little success in the Railway Cup. At club level he was a four-time championship medallist with Castlegar.[citation needed]
Throughout his career Cullinane made just two championship appearances for Galway. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1958 championship.[citation needed]
In retirement from playing, Cullinane became involved in team management and coaching. At club level he was a selector when Athenry reached their first championship decider in 1977.[citation needed]
