Marc L'Huillier (born September 26, 1971) is an American-born Australian former international rugby union player.
L'Huillier was born in Chicago, Illinois, to an Australian father and English mother.[1] His father, Leon L'Huillier, was working in Chicago as a consultant and would later serve on the board of Woolworths.[2] Raised in Australia, L'Huillier played his rugby as a prop and was a Victorian state representative player, before joining Sydney University.[3]
An American passport holder, L'Huillier was invited to play for the United States national team in their tour match against Queensland when they visited Australia in 1999. He then traveled with the team to the UK and made his Test debut off the bench in a heavy loss to England at Twickenham.[4] Included in the squad for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, L'Huillier appeared in one pool match, against the Wallabies at Thomond Park in Limerick.[5]
