sportingnews.com

Notre Dame's mascot is the Leprechaun, chosen to represent the Fightin' Irish and Irish folklore. The Leprechaun has been the official mascot since 1965, replacing an Irish terrier that had been used for 35 years. The Leprechaun wears a green outfit and interacts with fans, energizing the crowd during games. Tryouts are held annually, and this year, four students were selected: Colin, Riley, Kylee, and McKenna. Lynnette Wukie became the first woman to portray the Leprechaun in 2019, and Kylee Kazenski was the first woman to appear at football games in 2023. The mascot's logo features a side view of the Leprechaun ready for battle.
