- On Monday 9 November 2015, Killarney Legion were chosen to represent Kerry in the Munster Championship even though they had not won the county championship at that time. This ruling by the Kerry County Board appears to be in breach of Rule 6.24(a) of the GAA official guide. The Kerry S.F.C. final ended in a draw the day before, meaning that the replay would have to be held on Saturday 14 November, in time for the Munster Semi-Final on Sunday 15th. Because of this, the Kerry County Board decided that Killarney Legion would represent Kerry regardless of whether they beat South Kerry or not in the replay, which was put back to Sunday 22 November (South Kerry can't represent Kerry in the provincial championship as they are a divisional side). This meant that Dingle, the Kerry club champions, were not permitted to represent Kerry in the Munster championship as they normally would if Killarney Legion had lost the county final.
