The 2024 Kerry Club Football Championship (known as the Kerry Petroleum Senior Club Football Championship for sponsorship reasons) is the current instalment of the Kerry Club Football Championship. The tournament consists of Kerry GAA's 8 senior club teams. Dingle are the defending champions having defeated Kenmare Shamrocks in the 2023 final.[3]

Format

[edit]

The championship will have a similar format to that used in 2023. The draw took place at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on 15th February 2024.[4] The 8 clubs were drawn into two groups of 4 teams each with each team to play 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 will advance to the semi-finals with each group winner to play the runner-up of the other group at home. The semi-final winners will then play each other in the final.[5]

In a change from 2023 there will be no relegation to the Intermediate Championship in 2024. This is to facilitate changes to the Senior Championships which are to commence in 2025.[6]
