The 1974 Kerry Senior Hurling Championship was the 73rd 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 11 June 1974. The championship ran from 21 July 1974 to 13 October 1974.

Ballyduff entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Abbeydorney in the quarter-finals.[1]

The final was played on 13 October 1974 at Austin Stack Park in Tralee, between Abbeydorney and Austin Stacks, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[2] Abbeydorney won the match by 3–08 to 1–04 to claim their fourth championship title overall and a first title in 61 years.[3][4] It would be their last title for 50 years.[5]
