In this paper we consider the birational classification of pairs (S, ℒ), with S a rational surface and a linear system on S. We give a classification theorem for such pairs, and we determine, for each irreducible plane curve B, its Cremona minimal models, that is, those plane curves which are equivalent to B via a Cremona transformation and have minimal degree under this condition.
