Edward Henry Nash (20 December 1853 – 18 September 1932) was an English international rugby union player.
Nash, a native of Slough, was the cricket and rugby captain at Rugby School. He undertook further studies at Trinity College, Oxford, where he was also involved in rowing.[1]
A halfback, Nash gained an England cap in 1875, contributing a drop goal in a win over Ireland at Kennington Oval.[2] The following season, Nash won selection for a match with Scotland, but was unable to play due to university commitments.[3]
Nash later served as president of the country's Hockey Association, which he had helped found.[1]
