Gordon Young (21 June 1887 – 8 April 1958) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Young was born in Carrigaline, County Cork, and attended University College Cork, where he played varsity rugby.[1]
A fullback, Young received his only Ireland cap in a match against England at Lansdowne Road in 1913. His tackling brought about some criticism in an Ireland loss, but he was hampered by both concussion and a broken finger.[2][3]
