The Leinster Under-18 Schools team ran out 45-17 winners over Munster, closing out an unbeaten campaign which saw them come into their final match as confirmed champions.
Seán Skehan's side finished with a flourish - scoring four tries during the last half-an-hour - having guaranteed top spot thanks to their excellent 54-17 midweek victory away to Ulster.
It is back-to-back U-18 Schools Championship crowns for Leinster, who accumulated 18 points from their four games, with Ulster securing second place on nine points, and Munster in third with seven.
The final Schools clash saw the young Blues build a 19-5 half-time lead, as Terenure College hooker Rowan Balamash struck from two early mauls, and replacement Mark McNally broke through late on.
Munster fought hard on both sides of the ball, showing their quality in attack for Seán Ryan and Hugh Downey, the athletic CBC Cork full-back, to touch down either side of the interval.
A Gearóid Hickey break promised more, but with their lead cut to nine points, Leinster responded impressively in the 44th minute when half-backs Matthew McKenna and Victor Chauvire combined for their bonus point try.
Blackrock College prop Eoghan Rowlands was next over the whitewash, his 55th-minute effort cancelled out by a well-taken Munster score from Jack Hayes to leave it 33-17.
The hosts had more in the tank, releasing McNally to complete his brace, and he returned the favour with a classy pass to put fellow St. Michael's College man Ryan O'Sullivan over for a closing try which McKenna converted.
Meanwhile, a third successive bonus point win saw Ken Moore's Leinster outfit come out on top in an exciting PwC Under-18 Clubs Interprovincial title race.
Munster made the home side fight all the way on the day, coming back from four tries down, but Rocco Quigley's first-half brace proved vital in a 26-21 triumph.
Having lost to Leinster last weekend, Connacht applied the final round pressure by edging out Ulster 32-29 at Affidea Stadium to move a point clear at the top of the table.
With Munster coming to Donnybrook seeking a second consecutive winning performance, Moore's charges needed a strong start - and they got it with two tries inside the opening 16 minutes.
Wingers Michael Redmond and Quigley applied the finishing touches, the latter's score set up by Leon Regan's purposeful run. Conor Martin converted the second try.
The busy Navan scrum-half did likewise in the 25th minute, following lock Ciarán Dunne's nicely-angled burst to the try-line which put 19 points between the sides.
It was clinical play from Leinster, who took care of their bonus point just two minutes later when Regan surged through from deep and fed Enniscorthy's Quigley to double his tally.
That proved to be the champions' final score, though, as Waterpark back row pair Caolan Johnston and Alex Reddin, the Munster captain, helped the visitors to lift their game.
Johnston drew a deliberate knock-on from Quigley for a yellow card, and Old Crescent hooker Harry O'Dwyer used a well-set maul to earn Munster's opening points.
Trailing 26-7 at half-time, Gerry Casey's Reds maintained a high intensity on the resumption, and they had some near misses before Josh Devlin's tidy finish in the 44th minute.
Davyn Maher converted neatly and also added the extras to Reddin's quick-fire maul score, as Leinster, on the wrong end of the penalty count, lost centre Byron O'Hara to the sin bin.
Nonetheless, Moore's youngsters really stood up to the challenge during the remainder of the contest. It was a scoreless second half for them with Maher holding up Brandon Nolan.
Leinster's back-three began to threaten again, though, and their defence held firm late on, with Redmond impressing and his Tullow club-mate Nolan claiming a crucial turnover penalty.
After a thrilling encounter to end the campaign, Leinster were crowned champions again with a maximum haul of 15 points. Connacht finished second on 11, with Munster (7) and Ulster (3) completing the final table.
In the final fixture of the Energia Park triple-header, Leinster's Under-19s matched their U-18 Clubs counterparts in earning a third straight bonus point win.
It was seven tries to two in the end as Adam Griggs' Leinster U-19s recorded a runaway 41-18 victory over Munster, with St. Fintan's High School winger Tadg Young touching down twice.
Lifting the Barney McGonigle Trophy for the second year running, Leinster topped the standings with 15 points, Connacht pipped Munster for second place, and Ulster, who were 24-19 winners over the westerners, picked up four points in the final round.
Out-half Harrison McMahon set the tone for Leinster with a third-minute try, dummying his way through a gap and having the pace to race clear from 35 metres out.
It was not long until it was 10-0, Young conjuring up a cracking finish from the halfway line as he swatted away a couple of defenders after Brion Donagh's well-timed pass.
Munster knuckled down in response, threatening briefly through their maul before Crescent College Comprehensive's Alan Cleary landed two penalties from outside the 22.
Despite Tadhg Halfpenny's late tackle landing him in the sin bin, Leinster kept their opponents try-less, and fellow prop Philip Murphy crashed over to make it 17-6 at the break.
Tommy O'Donnell's Reds played some of their best rugby early in the second half, reducing the arrears to 22-18 thanks to William Hanley's momentum-building maul try and a crisp Cathal O'Mara effort, set up by livewire scrum-half Lewis Linehan.
In between, Chris Maguire showed terrific acceleration to burn through the back-field in the 41st minute, his sixth try of the competition keeping Griggs' charges on course.
Leinster crossed the whitewash three more times to put the result beyond any doubt. Young fought with Linehan for a McMahon cross-field kick, getting onto the breaking ball to complete his brace.
The home pack got their maul going for Newbridge College's Donagh to score on the hour mark. Séamus Whelan also went over from a late lineout drive, with fellow replacement Johnny Martin adding both conversions.
St. Mary's College winger Maguire topped the try-scoring charts for the campaign with six. McMahon chalked up four tries, and there were three each from Munster's Evan Boland, Ulster hooker Charlie Reaney, and Connacht duo Ruben Flynn and Tom Walsh.
