2009 Munster Senior Football Championship

The 2009 Munster Senior Football Championship was that year's installment of the annual Munster Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of the Munster GAA. It was won by Cork who defeated Limerick in the final. It was their first time to retain the title in 14 years.[1] Limerick had not won a Munster title since 1896.[2][3][4] After Cork's defeat of Kerry in the semi-final there were concerns that Kerry football was in "terminal decline."[5]

The winning Cork team received the Cuppy Cup, and automatically advanced to the quarter-final stage of the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
