On the new home and alternate jerseys, Leinster removes the stars from the badge.

The four stars that stand for the province’s European Cup triumphs will no longer be featured on LEINSTER RUGBY’s new home and alternate jerseys.

On the European shirt used in the Champions Cup the following season, the stars will still be visible above the crest.

Leinster announced the release of their 2025–2026 Castore home uniform, saying that in order “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,” they had chosen 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.

The choice “reflects our ambition to be representative of the whole club, across all teams and competitions,” said Shane Nolan, CEO of Leinster Rugby.

“We think 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.” “We are extremely proud of our Champions Cup history, and the stars will remain on our European jersey,” Nolan added.

The fact that the terrain is changing cannot be denied. 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 only one instance, and Castore collaborated closely with us and our players.
