The first County Championship at this age grade took place in 1979 and was won by Causeway. Prior to this, Under-21 championships were held at divisonal level only.

The series of games are played during the autumn and winter months. Weather conditions and fixture congestion have, on a number of occasions, led to the final stages of the competition not being completed within the calendar year.

The 2009 competition does not appear to have been completed with the final (due to be contested between St. Brendan's, Ardfert and Kilmoyley) unplayed.

Trophy

The original Atlantic Oils Perpetual Cup was presented to the winners from 1979 until 2007. The original trophy was replaced in 2008 when a new trophy was presented by Brendan Horgan of Atlantic Oils to the Kerry County Board . This trophy is sometimes referred to as the Denis Horgan Cup in memory of the founder of the Atlantic Oils company.[2]

gollark: I've never used it (or at least not in any program I can remember), and the most interaction I've had with "colors" and "images" and all that is `paintencode`.
gollark: It can also draw images.
gollark: Among other things.
gollark: If we make it a *law* that the API does that, it *cannot* not do that, since that would be illegal.
gollark: We should legally require all this sort of API to take a `term` object as input.
