Henry O'Hara O'Neill (1 July 1907 — 1 October 1994) was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Portstewart, County Londonderry, O'Neill was educated at Coleraine Academical Institution, University College Cork and Queen's University Belfast, prior to a career as a civil servant.[2]
O'Neill, a prop, gained his Ireland call up via Queen's University RFC. He featured in all three of Ireland's 1930 Five Nations matches, then won selection on the 1930 British Lions & Irish tour to New Zealand and Australia, where he played in every one of the five international fixtures. After a three-year absence, O'Neill was recalled by Ireland for their 1933 Home Nations campaign, gaining a further three caps.[3]
