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.

Format The Championship has seen an increase in the number of teams participating from 8 in 2024 to 10 in 2026. The teams play in three groups with each team playing the others once. The top two teams in each group advance to the knock-out stage, with 2 teams going straight to the semi-finals and the others playing in 2 quarter-finals. Teams who don't make the knock-out stage compete in the relegation play-offs, with the loser dropping down to the Intermediate Championship. However, if any team that plays in the relegation play-off final reach the final of the Senior Football Championship, they will not be relegated.
