Kerry Club Football Championship

The Kerry Club Football Championship is a Gaelic football championship played between senior clubs in County Kerry, in the south-west of Ireland.

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.

Group stage
The 8 clubs are divided into two groups of four. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed three group games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top two teams in each group qualify for the semi-finals.

Knockout stage
Semi-finals: The 2 group winners and 2 group runners-up contest this round. A group winner will play the runner-up of the other group. The two winners from these two games advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Relegation
The two bottom-placed teams from the group stage advance to the relegation play-off, with the losing team being relegated to the Kerry Intermediate Football Championship.

Qualification to subsequent competitions
If a divisional team wins the Kerry Senior Football Championship, the winners of this championship will qualify instead as divisional teams cannot represent the county. If a club team wins the Kerry Senior Football Championship, the winners of this championship not qualify.
