Dr. Crokes were the defending champions after they defeated Austin Stacks in the previous years final, however they lost their crown when losing to town rivals Killarney Legion at the Third Round stage.

This was Currow's first period in the senior grade after claiming the 2013 Kerry Intermediate Football Championship title. For this year they didn't supply players to the St. Kieran's divisional side. However they were relegated after losing to Kilcummin so they will return to the I.F.C. for 2015 and will once again supply players to the St. Kieran's divisional side.

On 2 November 2014, Austin Stacks claimed their 12th S.F.C. title (equalling Laune Rangers' record) after a 2-13 to 1-7 win over Mid Kerry in a final replay in Fitzgerald Stadium. Barry Shanahan raised the Bishop Moynihan Trophy for Austin Stacks while Kieran Donaghy claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.
