Remarkably, Tyrone and Kerry did not lock horns in the championship arena until the 1986 All-Ireland final. They have since met eight times in the GAA's showpiece competition. Overall, Kerry lead 5-4 and won the last encounter convincingly, beating the Red Hands 2-18 to 0-12 in the 2023 quarter-finals.

Kerry powered their way into an All-Ireland SFC decider thanks to a dominant second-half display, Tyrone's challenge fizzling out badly after a bright opening.

One of the big rivalries from the noughties gets another outing today as Kerry and Tyrone go head-to-head for a place in football’s showpiece.
