The 1910 Leinster Junior Football Championship was the sixth staging of the Leinster Junior Football Championship, the second-tier provincial competition that was launched in 1905 by Leinster GAA.[2]

The final was played at Jones's Road in Dublin, between Louth and Laois. Louth won the match by four points and in doing so became junior football champions of Leinster for the first time.[3] As the inaugural All-Ireland Junior Football Championship did not take place until 1912, Louth did not compete against the provincial champions of Connacht, Munster or Ulster.
