A Cork-born forward, Reidy played for Dolphin RFC from his junior years and also appeared with Lansdowne. He gained five Ireland caps, debuting in the side's final 1953 Five Nations fixture, against Wales in Swansea. After missing Ireland's 1953–54 season opener against the All Blacks, Reidy returned to the back row in place of Ronnie Kavanagh and appeared in all of their 1954 Five Nations matches.{{cite news |title=Five changes in team to meet France |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000038/19540111/159/0007 |work=Belfast News-Letter |date=11 January 1954}} He made 20 representative appearances for Munster.{{cite web |last1=Hodkinson |first1=Ger |title=Gerald Reidy (Int No. 618) 1953-54 5 caps |url=https://dolphinrfc.com/full-internationals |website=Dolphin RFC}}
