The Donegal-Kerry rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Donegal and Kerry, who first played each other in 2012. The fixture has been an infrequent one in the history of the championship, and therefore the rivalry is not as intense between the two teams.[1] Donegal's home ground is MacCumhail Park and Kerry's home ground is Fitzgerald Stadium, however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.
While Kerry have the highest number of Munster titles and Donegal are eighth on the roll of honour in Ulster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 39 championship titles between them to date.
