Kenmare GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association division in the south of County Kerry, Ireland.[1] The division includes the town of Kenmare. It is one of nine divisions of Kerry County Board. It organizes competitions for the clubs within the division, from Under 12 up to the adult level. The winners of these competitions compete against other divisional champions to determine which club is the county champion.

In addition, the division selects football teams from the adult teams playing at intermediate and junior level, and these then compete for the Kerry Senior Football Championship.

Hurling is the weaker sport in the division, without a district team and only two clubs, Kenmare Shamrocks and Kilgarvan fielding teams.
