The title has been won at least once by five of the Leinster counties, all of which have won the title more than once. The all-time record-holders are Kilkenny, who have won the competition 68 times. Kilkenny are also the current champions beating Dublin on 3rd July 2011 by 4-17 to 1-15.

Format

The Leinster Championship is a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random – there are no seeds, and the draw is usually made in October of the previous year.

Each match is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn there is a replay. Drawn replays are now settled with extra time, however, if both sides are still level at the end of extra time a second replay takes place and so on until a winner is found. If the quarter-finals end in draws, extra time is played immediately as replays are only permitted for provincial semi-finals and finals.

The format has remained virtually the same since the very first Leinster Championship in 1888. The biggest change to the championship format took place in 2009. Firstly, Galway

Leinster Championship matches were traditionally played at neutral venues or at a location that was deemed to be half-way between the two participants, however, counties eventually came to home and away agreements depending on the size of their stadia. The Leinster final has, in recent times, always been played at the GAA's headquarters in Croke Park

in Dublin. Some criticism has been leveled against the Leinster Council for continuing to play the provincial decider in Croke Park, as Kilkenny's domiance over the last decade has led to a downturn in attendances, leading to the match effectively being played in a stdium that isn't even half full.

Trophies

At the end of the Leinster final, the winning team is presented with a trophy. The Bob O'Keeffe Cup is held by the winning team until the following year's final. Traditionally, the presentation is made at a special rostrum in the stand where GAA and political dignitaries and special guests view the match.

The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team. During the game the cup actually has both teams' sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. The winning captain accepts the cup on behalf of his team before giving a short speech. Individual members of the winning team then have an opportunity to come to the rostrum to lift the cup.

The cup is named after Bob O'Keeffe, a native of Kilkenny who later won an All-Ireland medal with Laois

Laois GAA

and served as President of the GAA in the 1930s. The cup was donated by the Leinster Council in 1950 to commemorate O'Keeffe. The cup is the biggest to be presented in Gaelic Games, standing 3 feet 8 inches, weighing 564 ounces and with a capacity of 6 gallons. The Celtic chase work has been taken from the Book of Kells

Book of Kells

The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier...

. The hurler depicted on the top of the cup is barefooted, which is significant in view of the fact that O'Keeffe originally played in that manner. The original Bob O'Keeffe Cup was donated to the GAA museum at Croke Park in 2005. It was replaced by a replica also named the Bob O'Keeffe Cup.

from the throw-in, and drove towards their forwards. J.A. Walsh intercepted , and set the ball flying wide from 80 yards out to Daniels, who drove to Muldowney, who passed to Hegarty. Hegarty flashed in a goal. Barely a minute later, Treacy pointed from 70 feet, and Hegarty scored another point. Excellent hurling ensued, the outstanding feature being the terrier tackling of Daniels and Wade. A free to Kilkenny gave Lowry Meagher his chance, but Forde saved miraculously. The danger to Dublin ensued, but it was averted by Bannon, Murphy, Walsh and McMahon. Larkin was the outstanding Kilkenny man. Tom Treacy pointed from a free for Dublin,, this time scoring a major. Just before the interval O’Connell scored a point, leaving the score at Dublin 3-3 : Kilkenny Nil. Within five minutes of resuming play, Duggan scored a goal and Power a point. Dublin fought back and Wade and Muldowney each scored points. "Then a rare achievement was witnessed, when Lory Meagher scored a goal from a 70 yards puck". The scoring finished with a point by Meagher. Dublin showed superior speed, pertinacious tackling and a will-to-win spirit. The teams were: Dublin C. Forde, A. Murphy, J. Bannon, C.

In the end, the Leinster final roll of honour had a new name as Offaly won the game by a point.
