The 2020 Kerry Senior Hurling Championship was the 119th staging of the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kerry County Board in 1889. The championship draw took place on 29 June 2020.[1] A straight knockout format was used for the first time in a number of years due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship ran from 14 August to 20 September 2020.
Causeway entered the championship as the defending champions.[2]
The final was played on 20 September 2020 at Austin Stack Park in Tralee, between Kilmoyley and Causeway, in what was their third meeting in the final overall and a first final meeting in 13 years. Kilmoyley won the match by 2–12 to 1–14 to claim a record-equalling 25th championship title overall and a first title in four years.[3]
Kilmoyley's Maurice O'Connor was the championship's top scorer with 3-15.
