Edward Fitzgerald "Ned" Barry (3 September 1905 – 12 December 1993) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A loose forward, Barry represented Wellington and, briefly, Wanganui at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1932 and 1934. He played 10 matches for the All Blacks including one international, against Australia in 1934.[1]
A police officer, Barry had postings in Pahiatua, Whitianga, Orewa, and Auckland, where he was active as a coach and administrator at club and provincial union levels.[1]
He holds a unique place in New Zealand rugby history in that both his son, Kevin Barry, and grandson, Liam Barry, also played for the All Blacks: in doing so they became the first family to provide All Blacks from three successive generations.[2] He also had another son, Pat, who played for Counties in the 1960s, and another grandson, Mike Barry, who represented North Auckland and North Harbour.[1]
