The 2019 Kerry Senior Football Championship was the 118th edition of Kerry GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior teams in County Kerry, Ireland. The tournament consists of 17 teams (8 club teams and 9 divisional teams), with the winners representing Kerry in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship if they are a club team. If the winners are a divisional team the winners of the Kerry Club Football Championship represent the county.
The championship has a back-door format for the first two rounds before proceeding to a knock-out format. Generally, any team to lose two matches will be knocked out of the championship.
This was Kilcummin's return to the senior ranks after only a one year absence, meaning they will no longer provide players to the East Kerry District panel for this season. An Ghaeltacht (who were relegated to the I.F.C. for 2019) will provide the West Kerry Divisional side with players for the S.F.C. [1]
Dr. Crokes were the 2018 champions after they defeated Dingle in the final. [2]
Rathmore lost their 20-year senior club championship status after a surprising no show in the second half against neighbours Kilcummin. Rathmore’s exit is all the more surprising in a season where they had beaten Dr. Croke's in the Senior Club Championship and topped Division 1 of the County League. However All-Ireland Intermediate champions Kilcummin had no desire to join the band of clubs who went up to senior only to come back straight down the following season.
