Robbie Henshaw signs IRFU contract extension until 2022

The IRFU has confirmed that Robbie Henshaw has extended his IRFU contract which will see him play his rugby at Leinster up to at least the end of June 2022.

“Robbie has established himself as a leader within this Ireland squad and has delivered consistent world class performances which have helped to drive the sustained success enjoyed by the national team," commented David Nucifora, IRFU Performance Director.

"He has a hunger for improvement and in driving the standards of those around him.”

Robbie made his international debut against the USA in the summer of 2013 and has gone on to win 37 caps to date for Ireland.

He started every game of the 2015 Six Nations Championship and played in the opening two games of the 2018 Grand Slam success before injury curtailed his involvement. He returned to the Irish midfield to start all three of the summer tests against Australia.


Robbie won a Guinness PRO12 title with Connacht in 2016 and since his move to Leinster he has won a European Champions Cup and Guinness PRO14 title (both 2018) and has made over 30 appearances for Leinster.
