Kenmare GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association division in the south of County Kerry, Ireland. [1] The division includes the town of Kenmare. It is one of nine divisions of Kerry County Board. It organizes competitions for the clubs within the division, from Under 12 up to the adult level. The winners of these competitions compete against other divisional champions to determine which club is the county champion.
