The 42nd running of the biggest rally in Kerry will take place on April 29th and 30th. So far over 220 crews have entered, setting an all-time record for the event and beyond doubt proving the rally’s popularity.
Along with a high volume of entries, there is strong representation across all the categories, including the Juniors and Historics who will run separately from the main field, allowing for an extra 50 cars to take part in the event.

The club plans to have over 200 cars at the start line trying to ensure that all who have entered will be able to enjoy the iconic stages.
Rally fans can expect an action-packed weekend, beginning with the now-traditional ceremonial start on Main Street on Friday night.
The rally returns to the Beara Peninsula on Saturday for the first time since 2019 and the route will include the favourites like Cod’s Head, Ardgroom and the Healy Pass.
Sunday’s route also features some new roads, and after two runs over Moll’s Gap and Ballaghbeama the rally heads to east Kerry.
The sting in the tail includes two runs over Gortnagane and a stage that has not been used for rallying since the 1983 Circuit of Ireland – the last time the famed five-day event visited Kerry.
They are due to be at the finish ramp this Sunday afternoon at around 5pm.
