The Investec Champions Cup returns April 4 with the start of the Round of 16 matches across Europe, and for Leinster Rugby, this marks the beginning of its pursuit of an elusive fifth Champions Cup title.
The Dublin powerhouse, boasting over a dozen Irish Rugby national team players alongside members of the Springboks and All Blacks, has reached the Champions Cup Final three years in a row, only to be upset each time.
Leinster may have its best shot in 2025, as defending champion Toulouse is regrouping after a season-ending injury to Antoine Dupont.
La Rochelle, which defeated Leinster in 2022 and 2023, also will need to get past Leinster's biggest rival, Munster, in Round 1.
