The 2024 Kerry Senior Football Championship was the 123rd edition of Kerry GAA's premier tournament for senior Gaelic football teams in County Kerry, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams (8 senior club teams and 8 divisional teams). The defending Champions were East Kerry who retained their title by defeating Mid Kerry in the 2023 final for the second year in a row.[1] Dr Crokes won the Championship for a record 14th time, defeating Dingle in the final in a repeat of the 2024 Kerry Club Football Championship final. Dr Crokes will now represent Kerry in the 2024 Munster Senior Club Football Championship.[2]

Format

[edit]

The format for the 2024 Championship was different to the one used in recent years and reverted to a knock-out type competition. There was a double-elimination format for the first two rounds and then a single-elimination format was used for the rest of the championship. All sixteen teams played in Round 1 with the 8 winners advancing to Round 2A where the eight teams were drawn against each other with the four winners advancing to the quarter-finals. The 8 losers of Round 1 advanced to Round 2B where they were drawn to play against each other. The four winners advanced to Round 3 where they were drawn against the four losers from Round 2A. The four winners in Round 3 then advanced to the quarter-finals to play the Round 2A winners.[3][4]

Team changes

[edit]

Milltown/Castlemaine were promoted to the Kerry SFC for 2024 having won the 2023 Kerry Intermediate Football Championship.[5] They replaced Kerins O'Rahilly's who in turn were relegated to the Intermediate Championship for 2024 having lost the 2023 Kerry Club Football Championship Relegation play-off to Na Gaeil.[6]
