The 2024–25 season was Munster Rugby's fourth season in the United Rugby Championship, and their 137th season of representative rugby since their foundation. Along with competing in the URC and its Irish Shield competition, the club also participated in the 2024-25 European Rugby Champions Cup, their 31st season of European and professional competition.
On 29 October 2024, Munster announced the departure of Graham Rowntree by mutual agreement after four losses in six games in the United Rugby Championship. Ian Costello took over as interim head coach. In February, Munster announced that New Zealander Clayton McMillan had agreed to take the role from the end of the season, and that Mike Prendergast would take the interim role for the remainder of the campaign.
Following a poor start, including four losses from six games in the league, that was eventually to cost coach Graham Rowntree his position, the province was able to salvage its position somewhat, making the knock-out stages of both the European Rugby Champions Cup and the United Rugby Championship; in the former, an impressive away win in the Round of 16 at Stade Rochelais led to a quarter-final defeat against eventual champions Bordeaux Begles (UBB); in the latter Munster were eliminated after a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-final away to Sharks.
