In this paper we use finite gap integration method and Riemann-Hilbert method to obtain finite gap solutions of the extended modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Based on the techniques developed in long-time asymptotics, we show that the Baker-Akhiezer function of the extended modified Korteweg-de Vries equation can be described by solvable matrix Riemann-Hilbert problems with $ \sigma_2 $- symmetry condition on $ \mathbb {C} $. The procedure avoids solving Dubrovin's equations and Jacobi inverse problem.
