No. They are not real and do not exist. They come from Celtic myths.
Nobody has ever been clever enough to keep what they have found.
Supposedly, after a Leprechaun has been caught, the person must watch them at all times in order to receive the golden prize that is promised by legend. The Leprechaun is a very tricky creature, and will try to convince you to look away from it so it can make a clean escape. Even a second of looking at something else, a simple glance in another direction, is enough to give the Leprechaun a chance to get away. If the Leprechaun gets away from you, regardless of whether or not you saw it, OR caught it, there will be no prize for you, only the memory of this little shoemaker farie.

Leprechauns are a type of fairy from Irish folklore. It was thought to be good luck if a person saw or caught a Leprechaun.
A leprechaun is an Irish imp or goblin. Leprechauns are usually depicted as small dwarves resembling elderly little men. The legend is that a leprechaun can be made to reveal his buried treasure (gold) if he is caught by a human.
