In the event of the Kerry Senior Football Championship being won by a divisional team, the winner of this competition represents Kerry in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship (as divisional teams cannot play in the provincial competition).
The competition was not played in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Format
As the Championship has increased to 9 teams from 8 a new format will be used for 2025. The 9 teams were drawn into three groups of three teams with each team playing the other two teams, one at home and one away. The two group winners with the best records will advance to the semi-finals while the other group winner and all three runners-up will advance to the quarter-finals.[1]
As the Championship will see an increase in the number of teams again for 2026, there was no relegation to the Intermediate Championship in 2025.[2]
