Paul Finbarr Murray (29 June 1905 — 1 June 1981) was an Irish rugby union international.
One of nine siblings, Murray was born in Dublin and attended Blackrock College.[1]
Murray, who captained Dublin club Wanderers, played provincial rugby for Leinster and was capped 19 times for Ireland, debuting in 1927. He was a versatile back, making his Ireland appearances as a centre, out-half and scrum-half. In 1930, Murray made the British Lions squad for the tour of New Zealand and Australia, featuring in four of the five Tests. He was picked as a three-quarter but ended up as the team's scrum-half after Wilf Sobey was injured.[2]
A medical practitioner, Murray became an Ireland selector after retiring from rugby in 1934. He remained active in sport as a golfer and won the 1940 South of Ireland Championship.[3] In 1965 and 1966, Murray served as IRFU president. He had a son John who was capped for Ireland in 1963 and his daughter Oonagh played hockey for Ireland.[4]
