McIntosh was educated at [[Uppingham School]] in Rutland, where he played for the school cricket team<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/14/14080/all_teams.html|title=Teams Robert McIntosh played for|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=20 March 2011}}</ref> and for three years he was the mainstay of their bowling attack, [[Captain (cricket)|captaining]] the side in 1926, a season in which he took 45 wickets at a [[bowling average]] of 11.45.<ref name = "WOB">{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/228610.html|title=Obituaries in 1988|date=5 December 2005|publisher=Wisden Almanack|accessdate=20 March 2011}}</ref> He later went to [[University College, Oxford]], where he played for the [[Oxford University Cricket Club|University Cricket Club]], making his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut in 1927 against the [[Harlequins cricket team|Harlequins]].<ref name = "FCM">{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/14/14080/First-Class_Matches.html|title=First-Class Matches played by Robert McIntosh|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=20 March 2011}}</ref> 1927 was also the year that McIntosh played his only first-class match for the [[West of England cricket team|West of England]] when they played the touring [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealanders]] at the [[County Ground, Exeter]];<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/12/12433.html|title=West v New Zealanders, 1927|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=20 March 2011}}</ref> additionally in 1927 he also made three appearances for [[Devon County Cricket Club|Devon]] in the [[Minor Counties Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/14/14080/Minor_Counties_Championship_Matches.html|title=Minor Counties Championship Matches played by Robert McIntosh|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=20 March 2011}}</ref> From 1927 to 1929, McIntosh made 21 first-class appearances for Oxford University, playing his final match for them against [[Surrey County Cricket Club|Surrey]].<ref name = "FCM"/>

McIntosh received his [[Blue (university sport)|Oxford Blue]] in his first year of 1927, thanks largely to an injury to [[Walter McBride]], and in 1928.<ref name = "WOB"/> Poor health and having to bowl on over-prepared wickets which led to a poor bowling season for him in 1929 ruled him out of contention for a Blue in that year.<ref name = "FCM"/> A bowler, he took 62 wickets in total for the University. These came at an average of 34.33 and included two [[five wicket haul]]s, with best figures of 5/52.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/14/14080/f_Bowling_by_Team.html|title=First-class Bowling For Each Team by Robert McIntosh|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=20 March 2011}}</ref>

McIntosh later returned to the British Raj, where he played a single first-class match each for the [[Europeans cricket team|Europeans (India)]] against the [[Indians cricket team|Indians]] and for [[Madras cricket team|Madras]] against the [[Marylebone Cricket Club]], both in 1934.<ref name = "FCM"/> He died in [[Budleigh Salterton]], Devon on 21 March 1988.
