Leinster (lĕnˈstər, lĭnˈ–) [key], province (1991 pop. 1,860,949), 7,580 sq mi (19,632 sq km), E Republic of Ireland, comprising the counties of Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laoighis, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford, and Wicklow.

Its wealth and accessibility made the ancient province subject to Danish and Anglo-Norman invasions.
