The man, in his 30s, took the car from Green Street, Kilkenny, at about 3.30pm on Friday, a Garda spokesman said.
He collided with a second car on the N77 between Kilkenny and Ballyragget at around 3.55pm.
He was pronounced dead in hospital, while the girl was taken to Waterford University Hospital after being badly hurt.
Three people in the second car – two men and a woman, all in their 40s – were taken to hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
