In a statement the FAI said that following its meeting this week, its Board of Management had unanimously asked the current chief executive to extend his contract until 2015.
Delaney has been head of the FAI since 2004.
"John has presided over the development and growth of all strands of the game and we are delighted to announce that he will continue as Chief Executive of the Football Association of Ireland for a further five year term", said FAI President David Blood.
"John has been instrumental in modernising the Association and has a track record of achievement including the establishment of a nationwide network of co funded community based football development officers, the transformation of relations with football’s grassroots, the trebling of the Association’s commercial portfolio, the merger with the Airtricity League and the development of the new Aviva Stadium in partnership with the IRFU," Mr Blood added.
"I know that I speak for all of the elected members of the Board of Management when I say that John is the right man to continue delivering growth and success for Irish football over the next five year period.

Kom Igen, FCK...
I for one welcome our continuing insect overlord.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Thank god I'm not on a Ryanair flight or I'd have to pay for the sick bag - good old FAI, cronyism inc.
Another €2mill for the man who finally admitted recently the FAI is all about money.
This just backs up his statement.
Maybe he's done something for Shams, but I do disagree.
Any idea when his aid Fran Gavin's contract's up?
Tbh who could do a better job?
All positions of power contain an element of corruption.
Niall Quinn or Fintan Drury for a start...hardly think they would plunge the FAI into €50 mill of debt with a disastrous (disad)Vantage tickets scheme at a time when everyone but Delaney could see the Corporate sector was nosediving.
50 million of debt you say? Where'd you hear/see this?
One of the Sunday papers (Times, I think) got their hands on a Bank document a few weeks showing a massive loan taken out for the Stadium.
Every organisation takes out loans, doesn't mean they're in financial difficulty.
What about Jonathan Roche? I've been very impressed with the way he has handled Shamrock Rovers.
If you've nothing good to say, say it.
Oh right then; besides that, €18mill deficit in last accounts...no World Cup qualification funds...eircom rumoured to be pulling the plug. The only way is up.
You surely didn't think that the FAI had the money in the bank to pay for their part of the Aviva without having to get finance from anywere did you?
