Tadhg Furlong and Andrew Porter have signed new two-year contracts with Ireland and Leinster until 2027.
Irish prop Furlong, whose international debut was against Wales in 2015, has made 78 Test appearances and has won the Six Nations title three times.
Furlong played for the British and Irish Lions Test side in 2017 and 2021 and has won four Pro12/Pro14 titles and the European Champions Cup with Leinster.
The extension means Furlong will be contracted to the Irish RFU until the summer when Ireland will start to prepare for the next 2027 World Cup, when he will be 35.
“To get the chance to continue my playing career in Ireland with my home province is a dream come true,” said Furlong.
“I am delighted to extend my long association with both Leinster Rugby and the IRFU for the seasons to come.
“Since the beginning of my career I have aimed to contribute positively in a winning environment and I believe that there are bright times to come for club and country.”
