The Leinster School's Vinnie Murray Cup is the secondary rugby union competition for secondary schools affiliated to the Leinster Branch of the IRFU (behind the Leinster Schools Rugby Senior Cup).

With five wins, C.B.C. Monkstown has won the cup the most times. Wesley College the second most with four wins. Gonzaga College and St Gerard's School have won the trophy twice. Kilkenny College and Catholic University School have won the cup once.[1]
