The Munster Schools Senior Cup or Munster Senior Cup is the under-age rugby union competition for schools affiliated to the Munster Branch of the IRFU.

The competition, for the last 50 years, has been exclusively dominated by the so-called Big 5, composed of Cork schools C.B.C. & P.B.C., Limerick schools St. Munchin's & Crescent College¹, and County Tipperary school Rockwell College.

The inaugural Munster Schools Senior Cup took place in 1909 and since then Cork's two main fee-paying schools have been very much in command, with C.B.C. and P.B.C. leading the standings. Rockwell College were once the team to beat in the competition, holding the record of most wins until the 1970s. However, Rockwell have only managed to win the cup once since 1985.

The competition's final takes place every year on St. Patrick's day and alternates between being played in Thomond Park or Musgrave Park — unless, as often happens, there are two teams from one city playing, in which case the game takes place in that city.
