About our Munster Rugby news

Latest news on Munster Rugby, providing coverage of URC matches, European Champions Cup campaigns, transfers, and key developments from the defending United Rugby Championship winners.

Munster Rugby, one of Ireland's most storied professional rugby teams, continues to be a powerhouse in both domestic and European competition. Based in Limerick and Cork, with their primary home ground at the iconic 25,600-capacity Thomond Park, the province has achieved remarkable success under head coach Graham Rowntree, including their 2022-23 United Rugby Championship victory that ended a 12-year trophy drought.

The team's 2023-24 campaign has seen mixed fortunes, with their European Champions Cup hopes hanging in the balance after reaching the last 16. Domestic form has been strong, with Munster currently positioned well in the URC standings. The departure of Graham Rowntree as head coach in December 2024 marked a significant change, with Ian Costello stepping in as interim head coach while the province conducts a thorough search for a permanent replacement.

The Red Army, as Munster's passionate supporters are known, continue to provide unmatched atmosphere at both Thomond Park and Musgrave Park. The team's blend of homegrown talent and international stars, including Ireland internationals Peter O'Mahony, Tadhg Beirne, and Jack Crowley, has maintained Munster's tradition of exciting, competitive rugby that resonates deeply with the local community.

Munster's rich history includes two European Champions Cup victories (2006, 2008) and four league titles, with their most recent triumph coming in the dramatic 2023 URC final victory over the Stormers in Cape Town. The province's legendary status was built on famous victories against touring international sides, including their historic 12-0 win over New Zealand in 1978.

Our comprehensive NewsNow feed brings you the latest match reports, team updates, injury news, and exclusive insights from Munster Rugby. Stay informed about player transfers, fixture announcements, and key developments from both Thomond Park and Musgrave Park, with reliable coverage from trusted sources following the Red Army's progress in both domestic and European competitions.
