Munster
Stringer made his Munster debut against Ulster on 3 October 1998, in an Irish Inter-Provincial Championship game. He made his Heineken Cup debut for Munster against Perpignan on 10 October 1998.
He was Munster's first-choice scrum-half for the 2000 Heineken Cup Final against Northampton Saints, a game which Munster lost 8–9. Stringer was again at scrum-half for Munster in the 2002 Heineken Cup Final against Leicester Tigers, which Leicester won 15–9. This game also involved the infamous 'Hand of Back' incident, in which Neil Back, the Leicester flanker, knocked the ball out of Stringer's hands during his put-in to a Munster scrum near the Leicester try-line, ultimately denying Munster any chance of a comeback .
Stringer's first silverware with Munster came in February 2003, when they secured the 2002-03 Celtic League. He was also Munster's scrum-half when they beat Llanelli Scarlets to win the Celtic Cup in May 2005.
Stringer played a key role for Munster during the 2005-06 Heineken Cup, helping the team reach their third final. Before the 2006 Heineken Cup Final, Stringer was criticised for not scoring enough tries. During the final, he saw that Biarritz's scrum-half, Dimitri Yachvili, was out of position, and Stringer quickly scored Munster's second try, helping to secure a 23-19 win, and Munster's first Heineken Cup.
During the 2007-08 Heineken Cup, Stringer lost his place in the Munster team to Tomas O'Leary. He was on the bench for Munster's 16–13 win over Toulouse in the 2008 Heineken Cup Final, but did not come on.
He was part of the Munster team that won the 2008-09 Celtic League, and was on the bench when Munster won the 2011 Celtic League Grand Final, beating rivals and newly crowned Heineken Cup Champions Leinster 19–9 in Thomond Park.
During the 2010–11 season, Stringer also became Munster's most capped player ever, overtaking the record previously held by Alan Quinlan. He achieved the feat when he came on as a substitute in Munster's Celtic League victory against Leinster on 2 April 2011.
On 27 March 2012, while still on loan with Newcastle, Stringer signed a deal that will extend his Munster contract by one year.
