Now, this may cause a bit of an upset.
We've decided to take it upon ourselves to show you guys why Leinster is definitely, DEFINITELY the best province in Ireland.
Start licking your wounds guys, because we have this one in the bag.
Boasting some of the best rugby schools, players and jerseys (sorry, but let's be real) in the country – Leinster remains firmly at the top of the leaderboard year in, year out.

You know all the big-dogs of the country?
Yep, we own them.

With no signs of stopping. Google, Facebook and Twitter are all set up here, and they seem to be bringing their mates with them.

Need we say more?



The best and baddest in the business, ain't nothing getting past these guys.

Curracloe, Ballymoney, Rosslare and Ballinesker (even though the best craic was really in the arcades).

Producing stellar teams effortlessly year in, year out, the whole Dublin GAA organisation every year produces more incredible players than we've had hot dinners.
And we've had loads of dinners.

The soundest member of the biggest boyband in the world? Yep, we'll keep him.

Beautiful landscapes, incredible creatures and all round great craic, these racecourses are fun for all the family, and will guarantee some of the best and funnest days out you could ever imagine.

United only by geography, these four hit the top of the best university lists each and every year, and that's not going to change any time soon.
They're pretty easy on the eyes too.

The biggest private party in Europe, these tickets are like gold dust and always, ALWAYS prove to be a big hitter.
Dáil Éireann? Yep.
Department of the Taoiseach? Sure.
Department of Public Expenditure and Reform? Yaaaasssss.
Yup, we've got the penguins.

3Arena, Whelans, The Cobblestone, Button Factory – name your genre, we've got it.

Take that, Sydney!

The K Club, Carton House, Killenard, Castleknock and Mount Wolesley, but to name a few...

Have you ever heard of a little place called Meath?
It used to be its own province for God's sake!

Body&Soul, Forbidden Fruit, Dublin City Soul Festival, Longitude, Life, B.A.R.E In The Words, Castlepalooza, Another Love Story and Electric Picnic.
Sorry guys, but we've nailed this one.

With the Irish National Sailing Club and Royal Irish Yacht Clubs based in the heart of Dun Laoghaire, sailing holds a place firmly starboard of Ireland.

The quaint Irish town that has been turned into a tourism super-hub... and I'm pretty sure that means we can claim Obama too.

All of the fun ones anyway. A trip to the Dead Zoo, anybody?
AKA the most beautiful place on Earth.
Featuring Europe’s largest wooden rollercoaster.
Important.

The enormous steel pin we've all grown to know and love.


A heavenly place for all to roam, cycle or drive through. A haven from big city life, this park boasts an 11km perimeter wall, enclosing 1,750 acres, making it one of the largest walled city parks in Europe.
It also has herds upon herds of deer, was the location where the Pope gave his famous 'People of Ireland, I love you' speech and is where Michael D himself lives, so you know it has to be good.

Because if you're going to be jealous of everything, be jealous of this...
