He was the fourth son of Thomas Kavanagh of Borris, County Carlow by his wife Lady Susanna, daughter of Walter Butler, 16th Earl of Ormonde. He succeeded his elder brother Walter in the family estates in 1813.[1]

He sat in the House of Commons of Ireland for Kilkenny from 1797 to 1799 and in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom for County Carlow from 1826 to 1831. He failed to be elected at the general election of 1832 but sat for the county again from 1835 until his death.[1]

He married Lady Harriet Kavanagh (nee Trench) on 28 Feb 1825.

He was the father of Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh.[2]
