Leinster Cricket Club was founded in Rathgar in 1852.[1] The Dublin sports club now hosts tennis, squash, table tennis, bowls and cricket.

In 1860, Leinster hosted the first visit to Ireland by the All-England XI on the club's field in Lord Palmerston's demesne. The club also brought W. G. Grace to Ireland for the first time in 1873. In 1875 Ireland's rugby union team played its first home game at the cricket ground as Lansdowne Road was deemed unsuitable.[2]

Leinster hold the record for the most Leinster Senior League titles, with 23.
