<P> Leinster continued their success in the 2013--14 season by becoming the first team ever to defend the Pro12 title, topping the league in the regular season and defeating Glasgow Warriors 34--12 in their fifth consecutive Pro12 play - off final and also secured their seventh major title in as many years . </P> <P> Following a remarkable run of seven major trophies in seven years, Leinsters title run came to an end following the 2013 - 14 season . The 2014--15 season saw a dip in form, with Leinster finishing in fifth place in the league and failing to make the play - offs . Fortunes in the newly formed Champions Cup were better, with the team reaching the semi-final where they were defeated in extra-time by eventual winners, Toulon . At the end of the season, Head Coach, Matt O'Connor, left the club by mutual consent with former club captain, Leo Cullen, being named as his replacement . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> hide Season </Th> <Th> Pool / Round </Th> <Th> Pos </Th> <Th> Played </Th> <Th> Won </Th> <Th> Drawn </Th> <Th> Lost </Th> <Th> Bonus </Th> <Th> Points </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1995--96 </Td> <Td> Pool C </Td> <Td> 1st </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Semi-final </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Leinster 14--23 Cardiff </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1996--97 </Td> <Td> Pool B </Td> <Td> 3rd </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1997--98 </Td> <Td> Pool A </Td> <Td> 3rd </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1998--99 </Td> <Td> Pool A </Td> <Td> 4th </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1999--00 </Td> <Td> Pool 1 </Td> <Td> 2nd </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 8 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2000--01 </Td> <Td> Pool 1 </Td> <Td> 2nd </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2001--02 </Td> <Td> Pool 6 </Td> <Td> 1st </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 10 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Quarter -
