It is the first weekend of the All-Ireland SFC Sam Maguire Cup series and Kerry welcome Roscommon to Killarney for their first game. The Kingdom are League and Munster champions and will face a Roscommon side who were promoted from Division two before defeating London and losing to Galway in the Connacht championship.

Championship meetings between the two sides have been rare with this being the first meeting since the 2003 All-Ireland quarter-final having previously met in the 1980 All-Ireland final. There have been 10 champions games between the sides with Kerry winning eight to Roscommon's one and one draw. Roscommon's sole win came in the 1944 All-Ireland final.
