Format

edit

The championship had a similar format to 2023. The draw took place at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on 15th February, 2024.[4] The 16 clubs were drawn into four groups of 4 teams each with the semi-final and final losers from 2023 (Killarney Legion, Austin Stacks, Fossa) and the Kerry SFC relegated team (Kerins O'Rahilly's) being seeded. Each team played the other three teams 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 quarter-finals with each group winner playing the runner-up of another group at home.[6]

In a change to the 2023 format there was no relegation to the Junior Premier Championship in 2024. This is due to changes to the Senior Championships which will commence in 2025.[7]
