The Shamrock does NOT have four leaves. It has three. The reason it is an Irish symbol is because St. Patrick used it in explaining to the people of Ireland about the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He used each leaf as a representation of each person in the Trinity.
The use in the USA of a four-leafed clover in representations of Ireland is due to the belief that a four-leaf clover is lucky and it fits with the expression, 'the luck of the Irish'. In Ireland a four-leaf clover has no particular cultural symbolism.
