The 2024–25 season was Ulster Rugby's 31st season since the advent of professionalism in rugby union, and Richie Murphy's first full season as head coach of the men's senior team. New signings included South African wing Werner Kok, Irish-qualified New Zealand out-half Aidan Morgan, and former Ireland Sevens wing Zac Ward.
Ulster's men finished 14th in the fourth United Rugby Championship, failing to qualify for the European Rugby Champions Cup for the first time, and 3rd in its Irish Shield competition. In Europe, Ulster took part in the 2024-25 European Rugby Champions Cup, qualifying as 16th seed from the pool stage, before going out in the round of 16 to Bordeaux.
Cormac Izuchukwu made his debut for Ireland, with Iain Henderson, Rob Herring, Tom O'Toole, Stuart McCloskey and Jacob Stockdale also being capped. Izuchukwu, Harry Sheridan, Scott Wilson, Jack Murphy, Jude Postlethwaite and Zac Ward were selected for Emerging Ireland.
Ulster's men's 'A' team took part in the 'A' Interprovincial Championship, finishing second behind Leinster 'A'.
In the women's game, Ulster took part in the IRFU Women's Interprovincial Series, finishing fourth, and supplied seven players to the Wolfhounds and two to the Clovers in the 2024-25 Celtic Challenge; the Wolfhounds won the competition for the second time, and the Clovers came second.
Internationally, Sophie Barrett, Sadhbh McGrath, Fiona Tuite, Claire Boles and Brittany Hogan represented Ireland.
