Provided are a core-shell catalyst with improved durability and a manufacturing method thereof including irradiating ultrasonic waves to a solution containing a reducing solvent, a noble metal precursor, a transition metal precursor, and a carbon support to form a cavity due to the irradiation of the ultra-waves and forming transition metal precursor core and noble metal precursor shell particles due to a difference in vapor pressure; and nitriding the transition metal precursor core and noble metal precursor shell particles at a temperature of 450 to 550° C. and a pressure condition of 60 to 100 bar under a gaseous nitrogen source, in which the transition metal may be any one selected from the group consisting of Y, La, Ce, Zn, and Mn or combinations thereof.
