Ian Arthur Hammond (25 October 1925 — 20 May 1998) was a New Zealand rugby union international.[1]
Hammond was born on the Longfield estate outside Blenheim and educated at Marlborough Boys' College.[2][3]
A hooker, Hammond was an understudy to Norman Wilson on the 1951 tour of Australia and made six tour appearances for the All Blacks. The following year, he became the first Marlborough player to feature in a Test match, when picked for the second Bledisloe Cup match against the Wallabies at Athletic Park, Wellington.[4]
Hammond, a farmer by profession, retired from rugby union in 1953.[3]
