The event will see Conor Murray in conversation with renowned Sports presenter, Joe Molloy. Joining them on stage will be an array of special guests, including Murray's former teammate Keith Earls.

‘Cloud Nine: My Life in Rugby’ chronicles Conor Murray's legendary career spanning over a decade. His legacy includes titles, Grand Slams, and over 100 caps.

Patrickswell man Conor Murray has more than earned his place in the pantheon of Irish rugby gods through his longevity, impact and silverware won.Both at Thomond Park and on the international stage, Murray has stood out even whilst surrounded by other Ireland and Munster names who will themselves go down in history. 

As a Munster player, Murray has two United Rugby Championship titles to his name and his performances since his debut in 2010 saw Murray also selected in the World Rugby Men’s 15 Team of the Decade, 2010-2019.  First capped for his country all the way back in 2011 with his debut showing against France, the Munster scrum-half has also been at the heart of Ireland’s astonishing success in the years since. 

With five Six Nations titles including 2 Grand Slams and well over 100 caps for Ireland - as well as being a 3-time tourist with the British & Irish Lions amassing 8 test caps along the way - Murray has seen it all, played them all, fought back from injury, enjoying huge victories and suffering devastating losses.

And now he’s telling his own unique story in his own unique way.  A hugely respected and revered figure across the world of rugby, and Irish sport in particular, Murray is leaving no stone unturned as he describes the ups and downs, the mental and physical challenges and the fun he had during a rugby career that will forever be regarded as competitive and captivating. 

Set to be released in September, Murray’s autobiography will be written with Tommy Conlon, a sportswriter for the Sunday Independent and the author of numerous sport books including the award winning Keith Earls: Fight or Flight. 

The special evening at Thomond Park on Thursday, September 11 is a ticketed event. Tickets are €32.50 and include a copy of ‘Cloud Nine: My Life in Rugby’, which attendees will receive at the venue on the night.
