Frederick Warbrick (30 November 1869 [2] [a] – 8 January 1904) was a rugby union footballer who toured with the 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team on their tour of the British Isles, New Zealand, and Australia. [4] The Natives tour was captained and organised by Fred Warbrick's brother Joe, who had played with the New Zealand team on their 1884 tour of New South Wales. [7] Joe Warbrick eventually selected 26 players for the team, which consisted mostly of Māori or part-Māori, but also several European "Pakeha". [8] Along with Joe and Fred there were three other Warbrick brothers in the side: Alfred, Arthur, and Billy. [9]

After an internal tour of New Zealand, the side toured Australia, the British Isles, Australia again, and finally New Zealand. The side played at least 107 rugby matches in total, [10] and Fred played in at least 65 of those, including a minimum of 41 in the British Isles. [5] [b] He was included in two of the Natives matches against international sides—the win over Ireland and the loss to Wales. [11] [12] Following the tour Fred moved to Australia, where he played club rugby for Arfoma, and represented Queensland in 1892 and 1893. [4]

He died on 8 January 1904 from tuberculosis contracted after trying to rescue several people following a boating accident. [3] [13]
