Kerry county football team

The Kerry county football team represents Kerry in men's Gaelic football and is governed by Kerry GAA, a county board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The team competes in the three major annual inter-county competitions: the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Munster Senior Football Championship and the National Football League. They are the most successful county in Gaelic football history, having won the record most titles in each of these competitions: 39 All-Irelands, 24 National Football Leagues, and 86 Munster titles.

Kerry fast established itself as a major force after its maiden All-Ireland win in 1903, capturing at least two All-Irelands in each decade between the 1900s and 1980s. The Kerry team of the 1970s and 1980s, managed by Mick O'Dwyer, is considered to be one of the greatest in football history. O'Dwyer led the Kingdom to 8 All-Ireland titles between 1975 and 1989, the highest such tally for a single manager. He is widely regarded as one of the sport's greatest ever managers. O'Dwyer's departure brought a period of decline in the 1990s, but Kerry football has rebounded significantly in the 21st century. The team's current manager, Jack O'Connor, has won five All-Ireland SFC titles over three separate spells since 2000.

Kerry has played in green shirts with gold hoops and white shorts for most of its history. Its long-standing and fierce rivalry with Dublin emerged from periods of intense competition during the 1970s and 1980s and is one of the sport's most renowned. Notably, the teams contested five consecutive All-Ireland finals between 1975 and 1979. Dublin's All-Ireland tally of 31 is outmatched only by Kerry's, and the sides are considered Gaelic football's "Big Two". Another important rivalry exists with Cork, their geographic neighbors in Munster and the second most successful Munster SFC side.

Kerry's home grounds are Austin Stack Park, Tralee and Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney. Kerry was the fourth Munster county to win both the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship and All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, following Limerick, Tipperary and Cork. The team last won the Munster Senior Championship in 2025, the All-Ireland Senior Championship in 2025, and the National League in 2025.
