Stephen Larkham Extends Contract with Brumbies

Stephen Larkham has signed a contract extension to remain head coach of the ACT Brumbies until the end of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season. Since returning to the role in 2023, Larkham has led the Brumbies to consecutive semi-final appearances, solidifying their status as Australia's top team. Expressing gratitude for the support from the Brumbies board, Larkham stated he is excited about leveraging the team's recent successes in preparation for future competitions. Despite the Brumbies' strong performance, they have yet to overcome New Zealand teams' dominance in the league, with the last Australian title win occurring in 2014. Larkham's leadership has also ushered in new talent, contributing significantly to the team's overall success. Brumbies CEO Phil Thomson praised Larkham's contributions and expressed confidence in his ability to inspire further achievements in Australian rugby.
