The four leaf clover has nothing to do with the Irish. It is because people talk about the luck of the Irish that people assume its Irish. It is actually the normal 3 leaf clover that is Irish. St Patrick used it to represent the cross.
The four leaf clover is considered a symbol of good luck by Irish people

A four leaf clover is a common 3 leaf clover with a mutation which makes it grow a fourth leaf. According to Irish tradition, a 4 leaf clover brings good luck to their finders, especially if it's found accidentally.
In Irish tradition, a three leaf clover, a Shamrock supposedly represents the Holy Trinity - The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. If a four leaf clover is found, then the fourth leaf is considered to bring God's Grace.
The four-leaf clover is often confused with the shamrock. While the four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck, the three-leafed shamrock is mainly an Irish Christian symbol of the Holy Trinity and has a different significance.

The three leaf clover, or shamrock, is a symbol for the Irish because St. Patrick used it to teach the pagans the Trinity, 3 into 1, or 3 forming 1.

It is called a four leaf clover because it is a clover plant with four leaves, rather than the usual three leaves found on most clovers. The rarity of finding a clover with four leaves is considered lucky in many cultures.
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.
