The 2009 Kerry Senior Hurling Championship was the 108th staging of the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kerry County Board in 1889. The draw for the opening round fixtures took place on 25 July 2009. The championship ran from 16 August to 27 September 2009.
Kilmoyley were the defending champions.[1][2]
The final was played on 27 September 2009 at Austin Stack Park in Tralee, between Kilmoyley and St Brendan's, in what was their third meeting in the final overall and a first final meeting in 46 years. Kilmoyley won the match by 1–19 to 2–08 to claim a then record 22nd championship title overall and a second title in succession.[3][4]
Kilmoyley's Shane Brick was the championship's top scorer with 1-26.
The championship abandoned the double-elimination format which had been in 2008 and returned instead to a straight knockout format. This was the last year that the straight knockout format was used until 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a return to the format.
