Ireland international center Farrell has scored eight tries in 52 Munster appearances since making his debut in September 2017 and has also played 15 times for Ireland.
Coombes, the 24-year-old academy product, joined the senior team from the youth squad in 2020. He's scored four tries in ten appearances from the center and wing positions, while former academy back-row O’Sullivan has scored two tries in his 21 appearances over the past two and a half years.
Ireland U20 captain Alex Kendellen will step up from the academy next season.
The 20-year-old has also agreed a two-year contract, having made his first start for the province against Connacht last weekend.
This positive news for Munster follows yesterday's new contract for forwards coach Graham Rowntree.
