The Leinster GAA Post-Primary Schools Senior A Hurling Championship, is an annual inter-schools hurling competition organised by the Leinster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association. It is the highest inter-schools hurling competition in the province of Leinster, and has been contested every year, except on two occasions, since 1918.
The final, usually held in February, serves as the culmination of a round robin and knockout series of games played between November and January. Eligible players must be under the age of 19.
The Leinster Colleges Championship is an integral part of the wider All-Ireland Colleges Championship. The winners and runners-up of the Leinster final, like their counterparts in the Conancht Championships and Munster, advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals or semi-finals.
The title has been won at least once by 20 different schools, 10 of which have won the title more than once. The all-time record-holders are St Kieran's College, who have won the competition 58 times.
St Kieran's College are the current champions, having beaten Kilkenny CBS in the 2024 final.[1]
