Gerry Joseph Quinn (10 September 1917 – 20 November 1968) was an Irish first-class cricketer and rugby union international.
Born at Gort in County Galway, Quinn was educated at Belvedere College in Dublin, before studying law at University College Dublin.[1] Playing club cricket for Phoenix in Dublin, Quinn made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland against the English Minor Counties cricket team in 1937 at Observatory Lane, Dublin.[2] Batting twice in the match, Quinn was dismissed for 12 runs by Henry Butterworth in Ireland's first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 2 runs by the same bowler.[3] A member of the Old Belvedere rugby union team, he played twice for Ireland in the 1945–46 Victory International matches, though these matches were not recognised as official capped matches.[1] Outside of sport, Quinn had a successful career as a solicitor.[1] He died while playing tennis with Michael Dargan and Karl Mullen in Dublin in November 1968.[1] Two of his brothers, Frank Quinn and Kevin Quinn, both played cricket for Ireland;[1] additionally, Kevin also played international rugby union for Ireland.[citation needed]
