The 2020 Kerry Senior Football Championship was the 119th edition of Kerry GAA's premier Gaelic football tournament for senior teams in County Kerry, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams (8 club teams and 8 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 usually 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 year however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic seen the competition employ a straight knockout format.
It was Templenoe's first ever year as a senior club. Rathmore (who were relegated to the I.F.C. for 2020) will provide the East Kerry Divisional side with players for the S.F.C.[1] Additionally, the Kenmare District board ceased to run competitions this year meaning that Kenmare Shamrocks, Kilgarvan, and Tousist will move to East Kerry to make it a 16-club division. The fourth club in the Kenmare District, Templenoe, who have been promoted to senior for 2020, joined the South Kerry Division.[2]
East Kerry were the 2019 champions after they defeated Dr. Crokes in the final.[3]
