Tadhg Beirne has signed a new two-year contract with Ireland and Munster until 2027.

The forward made his Test debut in 2018 and has earned 58 caps, playing a key role in Ireland's back-to-back Six Nations title wins in 2023 and 2024.

The 33-year-old played every minute of the autumn Tests in November and started Ireland's opening Six Nations wins over England and Scotland this year.

Beirne was one of four Ireland players named in the World Rugby men's XVs dream team of the year for 2024.

He was also named Munster captain before the start of the season.

"It is a source of great pride to represent Ireland and Munster and I am delighted to continue to do so for the foreseeable future," said Beirne, who can play in the second or back rows.

"Playing in Ireland is a dream come true and I believe that Irish rugby is in a strong place with competitive environments across all of the provinces continuing to drive the highest levels of competition at national team level.

"I am hugely excited about the future and will do my best to hopefully deliver for our amazing supporters over the coming seasons."

"Tadhg is a world-class talent whose consistent levels of performance for club and country have been of the highest standards for many years," said IRFU performance director David Humphreys.

"Since breaking into the scene with Clongowes Wood College, Lansdowne and then into the Leinster Academy, he has taken the road less travelled and displayed enormous durability and consistency of performances in achieving league successes with the Scarlets and more recently Munster.

"For Ireland he has been a mainstay in the pack across a hugely successful era and it is a great boost for the IRFU and Munster Rugby, whom he captains, that he has extended his long association in Irish Rugby through until the Rugby World Cup 2027."
