In 1898, he was appointed to the post of Chair of Irish of Celtic Studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.; the Chair had been funded by the Ancient Order of Hibernians.[4] He held that post for a short time before moving to Berkeley University in California. He became President of the Gaelic League of America. Henebry suffered from tuberculosis for his entire adult life,[5] and partially because of this he returned to Ireland in 1903 and taught for a time in St. John's College. Following the establishment of the new National University of Ireland in 1908, he was appointed the first professor of Irish in University College Cork.[6]
He helped set up the Irish Language College in the Ring Gaeltacht in 1909. He made many recordings on wax cylinders of Irish music.
He died near Portlaw on 17 March 1916, and was buried at Carrickbeg, County Waterford.
