The 2023 Kerry Club Football Championship was the 2023 instalment of the Kerry Club Football Championship. The tournament consisted of 8 teams.[5] The final, in which Dingle defeated Kenmare Shamrocks, was held on 9 September 2023.[6]

Format

[edit]

The 8 clubs were drawn into two groups of 4 teams each with each team playing the other three in their group once, having one home match, one away match and one at a neutral venue. The top two teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals with each group winner playing the runner-up in the other group at home. The semi-final winners then played each other in the final.
The teams that finished in last place in each group played against each other in the relegation play-off with the winner retaining their senior status for 2024, while the loser was relegated to the Kerry Intermediate Football Championship for 2024.[7]
