Hugh McCaughey is to remain as Ulster Rugby's chief executive until the end of 2025.
Former health trust chief McCaughey took over as Ulster interim CEO in March after Jonny Petrie left the position.
Ulster Rugby and the IRFU announced McCaughey's continuation in the post on Monday afternoon.
“We were confident that Hugh was the right person for us to bring in to lead the province at a challenging time last season, given his extensive organisational leadership experience and understanding of the game," said the chair of Ulster's management committee Paul Terrington.
"This extension of his contract is testimony to the progress made to-date."
McCaughey coached Ulster and Ireland players at youth level and was manager of Ulster Rugby and the Irish Sevens team at the 2009 World Cup.
“I have relished the challenges and opportunities that have come from leading Ulster Rugby since I took up the role of CEO in April, and I look forward to continuing to move the province forward over the course of the next season," said McCaughey after the announcement of his contract extension.
