Ireland men’s head coach Andy Farrell has signed a contract extension with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) until 2031.

The 50-year-old replaced Joe Schmidt in 2019 and has led Ireland to two Six Nations championships including one Grand Slam in 2023.

As British and Irish Lions head coach in 2025, Farrell guided the side to a series win in Australia.

His current contract with the IRFU was due to expire after the 2027 Rugby World Cup but the former England international will now lead Ireland to the following tournament which will be held in the USA.

“I am incredibly proud to continue this journey with Irish Rugby,” Farrell said.

“It is a privilege to work with such a talented group of players and staff, and to represent the supporters whose passion and unwavering support drive this team forward and inspire us every time we take the field.

“What excites me most is the increasing strength and investment in pathways and the quality of talent coming through.

“There is a real confidence in the system that has been built across the provinces and age-grade programmes, and I believe with sustained effort that the best is yet to come.”
