The Leinster Junior Club Football Championship, known for sponsorship reasons as the AIB Leinster Junior Club Football Championship and shortened to the Leinster Club JFC, is a Gaelic football competition between the winners of the Junior football competitions in 10 counties of Leinster, the Intermediate football champions of Kilkenny, the Intermediate football runners-up of Longford and the Senior football champions of Europe. The winner receives the Sean Eiffe Memorial Cup, named for Detective Sergeant Sean Eiffe, a Garda who died in the line of duty in 2001.
The winner then contests the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship semi finals against the winners from one of the other three provinces.
