Leinster Rugby is a professional rugby union team representing the Irish province of Leinster, competing in the United Rugby Championship and European club competition, and one of the most successful sides in European club rugby history, having won multiple European Rugby Champions Cup titles alongside numerous domestic league titles. Playing in royal blue at the RDS Arena and Aviva Stadium, the team draws players from across the greater Dublin area and the wider Leinster province and, during its most dominant period in the early 2010s, supplied a significant core of the Ireland national team, including Brian O'Driscoll, Johnny Sexton and Rob Kearney.
