The 2025 Kerry Senior Football Championship is scheduled to be the 124th edition of Kerry GAA's premier tournament for senior Gaelic football teams in County Kerry, Ireland.

The defending Champions are Dr Crokes who won the Championship for a record 14th time in 2024, defeating Dingle in the final. [1]

Format

Originally it was planned for the championship to comprise of 17 teams, [2] however in April 2025 the Kerry County Board approved a proposal from Feale Rangers and Shannon Rangers to compete as a combined team (North Kerry) in the upcoming championship, thus reducing the number of Divisional sides to 7. [3]

The Divisional teams are to play in two Preliminary Rounds which will use a double elimination format. The club teams enter the championship at the First Round stage. The draw for the first preliminary round was made on 18 August. [4] 6 teams are to play in the first preliminary round with the 3 winners advancing to the First Round. The 3 losers will advance to the second preliminary round along with the bye team and the 2 winners from this round will also advance to the First round.

Of the 14 teams remaining, 2 will get a bye to the Quarter-finals and the rest will play in the First round with the competition using a single elimination format from then on. [5]

Teams

Austin Stacks were promoted to the championship having won the 2024 Kerry Intermediate Football Championship. [6]
