We're delighted to announce Robbie Henshaw has extended his IRFU contract to July 2025! π’#TeamOfUs | #IrishRugbyβ Irish Rugby (@IrishRugby) April 22, 2022
"Iβm delighted to have signed a contract extension with Ireland and Leinster Rugby," Henshaw said.
"We are lucky to have such high quality centres in Ireland and it is a really competitive position which makes it very exciting.
"There is so much to look forward to over the coming months and I want to play a role in achieving success for both teams."
The IRFU's Performance Director, David Nucifora, welcomed confirmation of Henshaw's deal.
"In 2021 Robbie showed that he was one of the best players in world rugby with dominant performances for both Ireland and the British and Irish Lions.
"The early part of this season was disrupted with a couple of injuries but he is a player who contributes massively to both Leinster and Ireland and he will play a big role in delivering the ambitions of both squads this season and in the years to come."
