context_page_description: The Leinster Schools Senior Challenge Cup is the premier rugby union competition for secondary schools affiliated to the Leinster Branch of the IRFU. First held in 1887, the Cup celebrated its 120th anniversary in 2007.
  Schools Senior Cup Rugby is divided into 4 tiers in two sections and each cup competition bears a name as follows: Section A Leinster Schools Rugby Senior Development Cup, Section A Leinster Schools Rugby McMullen Cup, Section B Leinster Schools Vinnie Murray Cup, Section B Leinster Schools Senior Challenge Cup.
  Attendances are high for a schoolboy competition, with up to 25,000 present at the final. This match traditionally takes place on Saint Patrick's Day at Lansdowne Road. In 2008, the final was played at the Royal Dublin Society Grounds after Donnybrook proved to be too small for the 2007 final, and has been the home since. Since the move to the RDS and live television coverage, the attendance has decreased and is now typically 10,000–14,000.
  The competition has been subject to criticism from various quarters as being "elitist" and for putting undue pressure on its participants.
