A prop, McIntyre was a product of New South Wales country rugby, playing for his native Orange in the Central Western Union. He made his New South Wales representative debut in 1907 on a tour of Western Australia.[1]
McIntyre got called up by the Wallabies for the 1908–09 tour of Britain, which was the first ever northern hemisphere tour undertaken by the national team.[2] He was largely overlooked during the tour, with his only appearances coming in uncapped matches against Penygraig, Neath & Aberavon, Llanelly and Yorkshire.[3]
Soon after returning home, McIntyre made the switch to rugby league and had a spell with North Sydney.[4]
