Leinster Rugby Statement
Leinster Rugby can confirm that Head Coach, Leo Cullen, will step away from his role at the conclusion of his current contract at the end of the 2026/27 season.
Leo, and his coaching team, will continue to lead the Leinster Rugby Senior Men’s team until June 2027 and will continue their preparations for the upcoming season which are already well advanced.
Leinster Rugby, in collaboration with the IRFU, will immediately begin a formal recruitment process to ensure that the best possible candidate is secured for the position.
Speaking about his departure from the role, Head Coach Leo Cullen said: “By the end of next season, in 2027, I will have been in my current job for 12 years. It’ll also be 32 years since I first represented Leinster as a Schools player! So, I think the timing will be right for me to move on to a new challenge.
