Andy Farrell extends IRFU deal to 2031, staying as Ireland rugby coach

Ireland's Rugby Federation (IRFU) has secured head coach Andy Farrell on a new deal until 2031, providing continuity for the nation's national rugby programme. Farrell, who guided Ireland to the quarter‑finals of the 2023 World Cup, will now continue his tenure under the new contract.

The agreement backs the IRFU's long‑term strategy to nurture emerging talent and maintain competitive standards. With upcoming international tournaments, Ireland seeks to retain a seasoned leader to steer the squad.

His continued presence is expected to bolster tactical consistency and player morale.
