Liam John Barry (born 15 March 1971) is a New Zealand rugby union coach and former rugby union player. He was most previously the assistant coach of the New Zealand men's sevens team. He has previously been the assistant coach the Blues and head coach of North Harbour's provincial rugby union side. He debuted for North Harbour in 1991 at the age of 20, and racked up 83 games over a decade-long provincial career. He had two spells in Japan, playing for NEC from 1997 to 2001 and Kubota from 2002 to 2004.
Barry holds a special place among the long parade of All Blacks for when he was chosen as a 22-year-old for the tour of Scotland and England in 1993 he followed:
his father Kevin, All Black #623 and
his grandfather Ned, All Black #397;
in wearing the silver fern. That became the first instance of a family providing three generations of All Blacks. In July 2020 the family provided All Black jerseys worn by the three for display at the New Zealand Rugby Museum in Palmerston North.[2]
Other relatives of note in rugby include:
Patrick Barry, son of Edward who played for Counties, and
Michael Barry, son of Kevin who played for North Auckland and North Harbour.
Nathaniel Barry, his son who currently plays for the Wellington U19 Rugby team.
Liam Barry is also a qualified teacher. He is married to Sarah and has four kids Esther, Nathaniel, Isaiah and Nieve. 19 year old son Nathaniel is currently pursuing his Rugby career playing Rugby in Wellington, New Zealand. Along with 16 year old son Isaiah who is another up and coming rugby player from the Barry family.
Nathaniel a lock/flanker currently stands at 6’3, weighing in at 100kgs.
He made his premier club debut for Old Boys University during the month of July 2023, and his Wellington under 19’s debut early August.
Nathaniel also captained Aquinas College 1st XV in his last year of college. Now as of 2024 Nathanial Barry was named in the under 20's Hurricanes squad, the future of New Zealand rugby people have been saying.
