The four stars will remain on the province’s European jersey for the 2025/26 Champions Cup campaign.
LEINSTER RUGBY have revealed that their new home and alternate jerseys will no longer include the four stars that represent the province’s European Cup victories.
However, the stars will remain above the crest on the European shirt worn in next season’s Champions Cup.
Leinster announced the launch of their Castore home kit for 2025/26, stating that they had decided to remove the stars from the shirts that will be worn in the URC, as well as by their women’s and age-grade sides, “to align with the wider Leinster Rugby club values, to ensure that the playing kit celebrates all the players and all the teams that wear it.”
Shane Nolan, CEO of Leinster Rugby, stated that the decision “reflects our ambition to be representative of the whole club, across all teams and competitions”.
“We are incredibly proud of our Champions Cup history, and the stars will remain on our European jersey,” Nolan continued, “but we also believe that the home jersey should speak to and celebrate the entire Leinster journey for our men’s and women’s teams, as well as our age-grade and junior rugby representative teams – past, present, and future.
“There is no denying that the landscape is shifting. We are approaching a period of tremendous opportunity and progress, particularly for the women’s game, and we want to be as ahead of that shift as possible on several fronts. This is just one example, and Castore worked closely with us while also consulting with our players.
