Beirne was the Munster skipper for large parts of last season after Peter O’Mahony’s decision to step down from the role in November 2023.
“It’s a huge honour to be named as captain of Munster Rugby and to lead a great group of players into the new season,” said Beirne.“Very few people have had the opportunity to captain Munster Rugby and it’s a massive honour to follow in the footsteps of some incredible players and leaders. I had the privilege of leading the team a number of times in the past and the job was always made easier by the amount of leaders we have in the squad.
