The Leinster Minor Football Championship is the premier under-17 "knockout" competition in gaelic football played in the province of Leinster.[1] 2017 was the final year of the minor under 18 football championship as it were replaced by an under 17 championship following a vote at the GAA Congress on 26 February 2016.[2]
The current Leinster champions are Longford.[3] The Leinster minor football championship is known as the Fr. Larry Murray Trophy. The Cup is named after Fr. Larry Murray who was an underage GAA mentor in both Louth and Armagh, hence the Ulster Minor Football Championship is also named after Fr. Larry Murray.[4][5]
