Edmund Gerald Ryan (14 July 1912 — 14 February 1992) was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]
A Scarriff-born banker, Ryan played his rugby in Cork with Dolphin RFC and made his debut for Ireland in 1937, as a member of their front row in a win over Wales at Belfast.[2] He gained a further two caps in 1938, against England and Scotland, before rugby was paused during the war.[3]
Ryan later worked in Dundalk and during the 1970s served as president of Dundalk RFC.[4]
