Format change

edit

A new format was created after the addition of a tenth team to the championship. The idea of two groups of five teams was rejected after a meeting with the clubs. As a result the clubs and the Kerry County Board decided upon a three-group format; one group containing four teams, and two containing three, making up the ten teams. There is to be no team eliminated from the championship at the end of the group phase. Instead the top two teams in each group qualify directly for the quarter-finals. The remaining four teams (the bottom two sides in the four-team group, and the bottom sides in the two three-team groups) play off in preliminary quarter-finals to join the other six sides. From that point on it's a knock-out competition.[4]
