County Kerry (Irish: Contae Chiarraí) is a county in Ireland. It is in the Southern Region and the province of Munster. It is named after the Ciarraige who lived in part of the present county.[3] The population of the county was 156,458 at the 2022 census.[2]

A popular tourist destination, Kerry's geography is defined by the MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountains, the Dingle, Iveragh and Beara peninsulas, and the Blasket and Skellig islands. It is bordered by County Limerick to the north-east and County Cork to the south and south-east.
