Ireland international Peter O'Mahony has committed his immediate future with the Irish Rugby Football Union after signing a one-year contract extension.
The 33-year-old made his Ireland debut against Italy in the 2012 Six Nations and has gone on to play 91 Tests. During his time with Ireland, he has gone on to win Six Nations titles in 2014 and 2015 apart from a Grand Slam in 2018 and a Triple Crown in 2022.
He was also part of their World Cup campaigns in 2015 and 2019 during which he featured in eight matches.
“The journey this Ireland squad has been on since the World Cup in Japan has been incredible to be a part of," said O'Mahony.
"There is a hunger to learn and compete and a great camaraderie in the group.
"My ambition is to compete at a third World Cup and help this team achieve success over the coming weeks and months.”
His professional rugby debut came with Munster in 2010 and has featured in 171 games for the Irish province scoring 15 tries. He was appointed captain of his Province in 2013 at the age of 24.
He also made a solitary Test appearance for the British and Irish Lions that came during the 2017 tour of New Zealand.
“Peter has been an important figure in Irish rugby for over a decade and has contributed massively to the success the Ireland men’s team has enjoyed across that period," said IRFU Performance Director David Nucifora.
"He is a born leader and galvanises those around him. We are delighted to contract him through the World Cup and into the 2023/24 season. A leader like Pete is invaluable to both Ireland and Munster.”
