Lawlor hailed from a family that had a strong association with hurling. His close relatives, Martin and Jim Lalor, were renowned hurley makers and both won back-to-back All-Ireland medals in 1904 and 1905.

Lawlor enjoyed a lengthy career with Tulla, however, he enjoyed little in terms of championship success.

After being selected for the Kilkenny senior team in 1921, Lawlor was a regular member of the team for the subsequent five championship seasons. He won his first Leinster medal in 1922 before later winning his sole All-Ireland medal after Kilkenny's defeat of Tipperary in the final. Lawlor won further Leinster medals in 1923 and 1925.

Lalwor died on 19 May 1979.
