Born in Littleton, County Tipperary, Bergin first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he first linked up with the Tipperary under-21 team. He joined the senior panel during the 1974 championship. Bergin went on to play a bit part for over a decade, however, he ended his career without any silverware.
