Kerry are Munster junior football champions for the 43rd time, having beaten Cork by 0-14 to 0-13 in the final at Austin Stack Park.
Captain Paul O'Donoghue was on target seven times for the winners, who led by 0-12 to 0-7 four minutes into the second half and had to withstand a spirited Rebel revival before clinching the title for a third year running.
The defending All-Ireland champions led by four at the short whistle, 0-10 to 0-6, with St Mary's clubman O'Donoghue registering half of their first-half haul.
Michael Vaughan supplied three of the Leesiders' scores before the break and three more in the second half - his point followed by one from Eoghan Buckley had the gap back to two with a quarter of the match left, 0-12 to 0-10.
Sean Michéal Ó Conchúir and O'Donoghue ('45') ensured that three separated the teams going into the last six minutes but late Cork points from Vaughan and Mark Sugrue meant we witnessed a typically exciting Kerry V Cork finale.
