The Leinster Leader Junior Club Cup is a Gaelic football competition for junior clubs organised by the Kildare GAA. Founded in 1995, it is sponsored by the Leinster Leader and it has gained mild support at county level. Many People[who?] believe that it was founded by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) to replace The Niall Smullen Cup which was abandoned in 1995.
