The 2024 Kerry Club Football Championship (known as the Kerry Petroleum Senior Club Football Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the 2024 edition of the Kerry Club Football Championship. The tournament consisted of Kerry GAA's 8 senior club teams. The Championship was won by Dr Crokes who defeated reigning champions Dingle in the final.[3]

## Format

[edit]

The championship had a similar format to that used in 2023. The draw took place at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on 15th February 2024.[4] The 8 clubs were drawn into two groups of 4 teams each with each team to play the other three in their group once, having one home match, one away match and one at a neutral venue. The top two teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals with each group winner playing the runner-up of the other group at home. The semi-final winners played each other in the final.[5]

In a change from 2023 there was no relegation to the Intermediate Championship in 2024. This was to facilitate changes to the Senior Championships which are to commence in 2025.[6]
