Donegal–Kerry Gaelic football rivalry
The Donegal-Kerry rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish 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 MacCumhaill Park and Kerry's home ground is Fitzgerald Stadium; however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.
