The Leinster Minor Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Leinster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1928 for the county teams in the province of Leinster in Ireland. As one of the four provincial championships, it is a component of the national competition for this age group, the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship. The winners of the Leinster final, like their counterparts in the Munster Championship, are rewarded by advancing directly to the semi-final stage of the All-Ireland series of games. The losers of the Leinster final enter the All-Ireland series at the quarter-final stage.
The championship is currently sponsored by Electric Ireland and is therefore officially known as the Electric Ireland Leinster GAA Hurling Minor Championship.[1] The current (2014) title holders are Kilkenny, who defeated Dublin at Croke Park on 6 July 2014.
The series of games are played during the summer months with the Leinster final currently being played on the second Sunday in July. The minor final provides the curtain-raiser to the senior final. The prize for the winning team is the Hanrahan Cup. The championship had always been played on a straight knock-out basis whereby once a team lost they are eliminated from the series; however, in recent years the championship has expanded to include a first-round losers' group.
Ten teams currently participate in the Leinster Championship, including the most successful team in terms of minor hurling, namely Kilkenny. They have won the provincial title on 53 occasions during its history while they have also claimed 20 All-Ireland titles.
The title has been won at least once by six of the eleven Leinster counties, five of which have won the title more than once. The all-time record-holders are Kilkenny, who have won the competition 53 times.
Trophy
At the end of the Leinster final, the winning team is presented with a trophy. The Hanrahan Cup is named after Walter Hanrahan (Wexford), the first Secretary of the Leinster Council.[2]
