Too many variables to know for sure. How bad the situation was before the root canal, treatment complications, periodontal condition, how well it was done
With the proper restorations strengthening the inside and outside (post/core; crown) and barring any fractures of the root (clenching and grinding habits) it should last indefinitely.
When done properly it should last many years.
A well done root canal filling should last about 25 years before it needs to be replaced
