Leinster Schools Athletics Champions 1924-2020 The origins of Leinster Inter-Schools Sports/Championships can be traced back to 1914 under the Dublin Schools League of the GAA. The Dublin Schools' League farmed out athletics events to be held with schools’ hurling/football championship finals. However, as GAA club names are given for winners it is not possible to identify schools. The Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) organised All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1916 and the GAA, All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1917. The IAAA did not organise Dublin The National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland (NACAI) was founded as the National Governing Body for athletics in July 1922 through the amalgamation of the IAAA and the Athletic Council of the GAA. The now titled “All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships” were inaugurated in 1923 under the NACAI. Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletics Championships were revived in 1924 and organised by the Co Dublin Board of NACAI through to 1930. The Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletic Union (DSAU), under the aegis of the NACAI, was founded at a meeting of representatives of schools and colleges in Jury’s Hotel on 18 October 1930 to take charge of the organisation of the (County) Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. The first Hon. President was Mr Patrick Lynch, Attorney General, and the inaugural Chairman, Rev A. Murphy (Castleknock). From 1930 through 1936 the DSAU ran the Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. At a meeting of the Dublin Schools’ Athletic Union in Jury’s Hotel on 3 March 1937 a motion to transform this Union into the Leinster Schools’ Athletic Union was passed unanimously. All of the events already fixed for the Dublin Schools’ Championships were opened to all schools and colleges in Leinster. Subsequently in April the NACAI invited the schools to control the All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships. By the middle of May 1937 Munster and Connacht Schools' Athletic Unions had been formed and an Ulster Union was in train. Leinster Provincial Schools’ Championships were first held in 1937. Because the Leinster Schools’ Athletic Union was formed from the Dublin Schools’ Athletic Union, the results of Dublin Schools Championships run by the Co Dublin Board of the NACAI from 1924–1930 and by the DSAU from 1931–1936 are included in this compilation for completeness. All winners are listed from 1924 where known.
