Gerard F. Reidy (13 May 1926 â 19 August 2012) was an Irish international rugby union player.
A Cork-born forward, Reidy played for Dolphin RFC from his junior years and also appeared with Lansdowne. He gained five Ireland caps, debuting in the side's final 1953 Five Nations fixture, against Wales in Swansea. After missing Ireland's 1953âÂÂ54 season opener against the All Blacks, Reidy returned to the back row in place of Ronnie Kavanagh and appeared in all of their 1954 Five Nations matches. He made 20 representative appearances for Munster.
Reidy served as president of the Irish Rugby Football Union in 1983âÂÂ84.
