ABOUT

An informal term used to refer to the seven leading private boys’ schools in Ireland, so-named for their traditional dominance in the Leinster Senior Cup rugby tournament. These seven schools are the most well-known schools in the country and overseas. These schools, historically, have automatically qualified for the play-offs in this tournament whereas other schools must play qualification matches. Similarly, former pupils of these schools have formed the most significant player pool for the Irish national team and Leinster provincial teams.

Whilst the moniker was applied as a reference to the schools’ sporting prowess, it has since come to be a byword for the elite schools and the culture associated with them. Each of the schools has a long history of educating Ireland’s political and professional classes and boasts alumni lists that correlate with the Who’s Who of Ireland. The schools consider each other to be peers and regularly benchmark against one another.

The super seven schools are: Belvedere College; Blackrock College; Castleknock College; Clongowes Wood College; St. Andrew’s College, Dublin; St Mary’s College; and Terenure College.
