Irish rugby legends Leinster need no introduction. They are the most successful Irish team both domestically and in European competition. Hailing from Dublin the club plays primarily at the RDS Arena.
Founded over 140 years ago in 1879, during the formation of the IRFU. It wasn’t until the mid-1990s that they became fully professional, taking on the nickname of ‘Leinster Lions’ a short time after. This later inspired their mascot, Leo the Lion. Leinster fans are notoriously loyal and the club has a huge following. Traditionally support for rugby union in Ireland dwindled – but now it is a symbol of pride and pleasure for Dublin. Their European Cup clash against Munster set a world record for attendance of a ‘club’ game – they played in front of a crowd of over 82,000 spectators.
In 2008 Leinster began to dominate on domestic and European levels, ending the season as Celtic League champions. They went on to win the European Cup in 2011, and the European Challenge Cup in 2013. By 2015 they had enjoyed a remarkable run of seven major trophies in seven years. They have won the British and Irish Cup twice, and the Celtic Cup as well as the Heineken/Champions Cup.
