Kerry will not able to retain the Division 1 title outright as their Munster SFC quarter-final against Clare has been scheduled for Saturday, June 26.

One of the conditions of the revised GAA inter-county season states divisional finals will only be played on June 19 or 20 providing counties involved are not commencing their provincial campaigns the following week. In the event they cannot take place, the cups will be shared.
