Jonathan Rea has signed a new multi-year contract with Kawasaki and KRT.
The five-times World Superbike champion will continue his record-breaking partnership with the team.
Rea has won five consecutive WorldSBK championships as a KRT rider, starting in his first Kawasaki year in 2015.
The Co Antrim man is the most successful WorldSBK racer in history, and already has one race win under his belt this season, at the only round to be held so far in Australia.
Current championship leader Alex Lowes has already signed with Kawasaki beyond 2020.
“I am super happy to sign a new contract with Kawasaki and KRT," Rea said.
"What we have achieved together is incredible. Our success is driven by a great team and of course the base of the project - our Ninja ZX-10RR.
"I will keep working hard, together with my crew, the engineers at KHI to be in the best condition every single race.
"This period away from racing has reignited a burning desire to keep winning and continue to improve my skills and the package of our bike. Racing never stands still and all the riders and manufactures are continuing to improve - we must do the same.
"Now we can fully focus on our 2020 WorldSBK season where racing will restart soon. I want to thank Kawasaki, the team and all my sponsors for their continued support and this great opportunity.”
KRT Team Manager Guim Roda added: “Everyone in the team is delighted that Jonathan will be with us again.
"In racing we cannot assume anything until it is completed so we are very happy that JR65 has confirmed his future with Kawasaki and us.
"Everyone involved understands that this is a long-term project and that continuity and success go hand-in-hand.
"As a rider Jonathan has incredible talents that are very rare.
"For sure, to keep him as part of KRT gives us a chance to create yet more WorldSBK and racing history. His pit crew and everyone at KRT are delighted to continue this hugely rewarding professional and personal journey together.”
