Cosgrove is openly gay and got his first chance for [[Dublin GAA|Dublin]] in the 1999 Leinster final. Unfortunately, having been brought on as a sub, he was substituted himself soon after. He did not get another game until 2002, when fellow clubman [[Tommy Lyons]] took over as manager.

Cosgrove started at full forward in the [[Leinster Senior Football Championship|Leinster]] quarter-final of 2002 against [[Wexford GAA|Wexford]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2002/0601/dublin.html|title=Dublin edge through against Wexford|publisher=[[RTÉ Sport]]|date=1 June 2002|accessdate=5 November 2009}}</ref> In the semi-final against Meath, he scored 2–3 while being marked by [[Darren Fay]].
