Celtic Rugby offered their congratulations to Irish Province Leinster, as the Magners League side proved they are the best team in Europe by beating English Premiership Champions, Leicester Tigers, to claim the 2009 Heineken Cup.
Director of Celtic Rugby David Jordan said: "Congratulations must go to everyone involved at Leinster in the success of winning the Heineken Cup. The team have built on their performances in claiming the Magners League title of 2008 by becoming European Champions the following year, a unique achievement in Celtic Rugby history.
"Once again all the major European cross border trophies reside in Celtic hands; Ireland taking the RBS Six Nations Trophy, Cardiff Blues the EDF Energy Cup and Leinster the Heineken Cup.
"With the majority of the British and Irish Lions touring party playing their rugby for Magners League teams, it is proving to be another ground breaking season for Celtic Rugby.
"A final mention must go to the Leinster supporters who made the game at Murrayfield such a colourful and vibrant occasion on Saturday."
