The 2025 Kerry Senior Football Championship was the 124th edition of Kerry GAA's premier tournament for senior Gaelic football teams in County Kerry, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams (9 senior club teams and 7 divisional teams). The defending Champions were Dr Crokes who won the Championship for a record 14th time in 2024. The losing finalists in 2024, Dingle won the championship for a 7th time. It was their first title in 77 years. They subsequently represented Kerry in the 2025 Munster Senior Club Football Championship.
Format Originally it was planned for the championship to involve 17 teams, 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.
The Divisional teams played in two Preliminary Rounds which used a double elimination format. The club teams entered the championship at the First Round stage. The draw for the first preliminary round was made on 18 August. 6 teams were to play in the first preliminary round with the 3 winners advancing to the First Round. The 3 losers advanced to the second preliminary round along with the bye team and the 2 winners from this round also advanced to the First round.
Of the 14 teams remaining, 2 got a bye to the Quarter-finals and the rest played in the First round with the competition using a single elimination format from then on.
