Archibald George McCormick (23 February 1899 – 8 February 1969) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A hooker, McCormick represented Canterbury and Ashburton County at a provincial level. After playing two games for Canterbury in 1924, McCormick was selected for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1925 tour of New South Wales but, as one of three hookers in the touring party, only played in one match. He did not appear in any Test matches.[1][2]
He was also the national amateur heavyweight boxing champion in 1922 and 1923.[2][3]
