Kerry–Mayo Gaelic football rivalry

The Kerry-Mayo rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish county teams Kerry and Mayo, who first played each other in 1905. It is considered to be one of the biggest rivalries in Gaelic games.[1] Kerry's home ground is Fitzgerald Stadium and Mayo's home ground is MacHale Park, however, all but one of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park. The first championship meeting between the two counties to take place in either Kerry or Mayo was in 2019 when they played each other in Fitzgerald Stadium at the All-Ireland quarter-final group stage.
