The Kerry-Mayo rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Kerry and Mayo, who first played each other in 1908. 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 of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Kerry have the highest number of Leinster titles and Mayo are the standard bearers in Connacht, they have also enjoyed All-Ireland Senior Football Championship successes, having won 40 championship titles between them to date.
