Connacht enters the new United Rugby Championship season determined to climb the table after a challenging 2024-25 campaign. The Galway-based side finished near the bottom of the league standings, hurt by inconsistency and defensive lapses. 

Despite that, Connacht remained one of the most watchable teams in the competition, ranking high in offloads and meters gained. With Bundee Aki and Mack Hansen providing sparks in the backline, and Cian Prendergast anchoring the pack, Connacht will again test even the top clubs.
