How to trigger jenkins every time a repository is created on github org?

I know how to trigger jenkins if a push is made to a repo but for this instance, I have a github organization and want to trigger jenkins when a repository is made on this github organization (to add webhooks and teams). I have an org-level hook but there isn't a place to specify a trigger. The git plugin specifically asks for a repository url.

I was going to create a repo that gets updated with list of repositories and have that repo as the hook but that sounds over-engineered. Any other easier way to do this?

Organization webhooks (introduced in December 2014) can be made for any events, including creation events (which include repository creation)

You should be able to register one, with a Jenkins server URL as listener. Since the Jenkins GitHub plugin might not process your exact webjook JSON payload, that URL could be one of a custom listener, able to notify your Jenkins.
See for instance worg/hookah.
