The boxing promoter appeared at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin on Sunday after being extradited from Dubai on an Irish government jet.
He was arrested when he landed back on Irish soil at Casement Aerodrome in Baldonnel, an airport outside the capital, just after 6.30pm.
Kinahan, 49, was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation between 18 October 2015 and 6 April 2017.
A joint statement from Ireland and the United Arab Emirates described the alleged crime boss as "one of the most high-profile individuals sought for prosecution in connection with transnational organised crime".
Kinahan is allegedly the leader of the Kinahan organised crime group, which is said to have smuggled illegal drugs, including cocaine and cannabis - as well as guns - into Europe.
US authorities have described the gang as one of the most "dangerous cartels in the world" and previously offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.7m) for Kinahan's arrest.
Irish police, with assistance from authorities in the UK, Spain and the US, have been pursuing members of the group for the past decade.
The Garda Siochana commissioner Justin Kelly said Kinahan's extradition from Dubai "shows our determination, along with our international policing partners, including Dubai Police, to target transnational organised crime groups".
More than 70,000 people tracked the plane carrying Kinahan from Dubai, and crowds gathered outside the Special Criminal Court in hopes of glimpsing him.
Armed Irish police officers were stationed at entrances to the court, where Kinahan arrived in a convoy of vehicles with blacked-out windows.

The security precautions, which involved armed police and members of the armed forces, come after the Kinahan cartel was involved in a bloody feud with the rival Hutch crime gang in Ireland, which began in 2015 and resulted in 18 deaths.
An attempt was made on Kinahan's life in 2016 at a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel in Dublin.
After the court appearance, the alleged organised crime boss was taken to Portlaoise Prison, a high-security jail about 90 miles (145km) southwest of Dublin.
Kinahan will appear in court on 5 October.
The Ferrari Monza SP2 - one of only 499 made by the Italian car manufacturer - was targeted as part of a crackdown on anti-social driving in central London.
Officers found the supercar was uninsured and the driver, who had been in the car for less than half an hour when he was stopped, only had a provisional driving licence.
One of the limited-edition vehicles sold at auction for almost $5m (£3.7m) earlier this year.
The Met seized a total of 90 vehicles worth more than £8m during the operation targeting uninsured drivers as well as anti-social and dangerous driving across Hyde Park, Kensington and Chelsea between 7 and 9 August.
This is the highest number and value of vehicles seized in the operation's five-year history.
Fifteen of the cars were seized under new powers allowing police to seize them rather than hand out a warning if they are involved in anti-social behaviour.

During stops for suspected insurance offences, officers arrested a man on suspicion of handling stolen goods and money laundering after he was found with 19 bank cards in other people's names and more than £2,500 in cash.
Another man stopped for driving without insurance was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.
A third was arrested for using words and behaviour that would likely cause harassment, alarm and distress, and a fourth on suspicion of an immigration offence.
Special Chief Inspector Geoff Tatman, who led the operation, said: "We regularly hear from local people who are fed up with people driving cars dangerously in the area, or with modifications which make them a nuisance to those who live nearby.
"Through operations like this we're arresting these drivers and seizing their cars so we can keep our roads safe and send a clear message that we won't put up with their reckless and dangerous behaviour."
Jason Arday, who became Cambridge's youngest black professor in 2023, has called off a bookshop event in Edinburgh and a conference speech.
His memoir, Great And Unfortunate Things, is due to be published on 27 August - with the publisher facing calls to postpone its release.
Prof Arday's resignation on Wednesday followed a series of reports alleging he plagiarised his PhD thesis, which was completed at the University of Liverpool.
Further questions have been asked about the truth of other claims he made, including that he ran 600 miles in six days and had raised £5.5m for charity.
He later told The Guardian that the money was raised with the help of others over 20 years, but they could not be named because of non-disclosure agreements.
Cambridge University has now launched an investigation into Prof Arday's "academic qualifications and honorary appointments".
In a letter addressed to his colleagues announcing his resignation, Prof Arday wrote: "While criticism is an inevitable part of academic life, what I have experienced has gone far beyond scholarly disagreement.
"The relentless accusations, speculation and public commentary have taken a profound toll on me and on those I love."

Prof Arday added that the "only way to bring this chapter to an end is to step away" - but he stressed the decision should not be "mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me".
"It is simply the decision of someone who has reached the limits of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure," he wrote.
Last week, Green Party leader Zack Polanski defended Prof Arday, and said "people of colour … can sometimes be held by higher standards" in society.
Speaking on LBC, Mr Polanski sought to defend his decision to sign a letter that criticised the "sustained and malicious attacks" on the academic's integrity.
He said: "I think the whole affair sounds pretty sad.
"I think it would be good, actually, if the (university) investigation still was carried out, because I think it would be good to know the truth.
"And ultimately, I think these things should be about fair process and transparency rather than trial by media."
The Porter Airlines service had left the terminal at Victoria International Airport in British Columbia and was heading for the runway.
According to the airline, a parent and cabin crew had repeatedly tried to secure the child in their seat to no success.
The plane was forced to return to the gate so the parent and child could be removed along with their luggage.
Remaining passengers also had to disembark while flight plans were refiled and other paperwork was completed.
However, this delayed the Toronto-bound flight beyond the runway's closure time at 12.30am, leaving passengers stranded in British Columbia for the night.
In a statement, Porter Airlines said the young child had been "standing in their seat" - creating unsafe conditions for take-off.
It is unclear how old the child was, nor how many passengers were on board the 132-seat plane at the time.
The airline apologised to the passengers who were inconvenienced on Thursday - and confirmed they were rebooked on a different flight the following day.
Passengers on board the service told Canadian broadcaster CBC that there was "a lot of frustration".
One of them, Aryeh Kozuch, said the child wasn't being bratty or uncomfortable, but was scared.
He said: "They just kept hiding under their seat. If they got forced into being strapped in, they just kind of slid out underneath."
Another passenger, Hillary Hertzberg, said "it took forever" for the parent and child to disembark, and criticised the airline's communication after the flight was cancelled.
Some were left scrambling to try and find a room at a nearby hotel, and now want the airline to offer compensation for their expenses.
Emergency services were called at around 4.35pm on Saturday to Grasmere lake following reports that a young man had got into difficulty in the water, Cumbria Police said.
A 19-year-old man was taken to hospital and later died.
Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious and urged anyone with information to come forward.
The force added: "Police would also like to thank those who came to the teenager's aid, including those who helped get him to shore."
It comes as a search is under way for a woman who went into the sea in Weymouth.
Dorset Police received a report at 11.05pm on Saturday from a member of the public raising concern for the welfare of a woman who had been seen entering the water from Weymouth Esplanade. She is not believed to have returned.
The woman is described as being of average build and having long hair.
When she entered the water, she was wearing a long flowing dress, which is a lighter colour at the top, police said.
Officers have been carrying out searches in the area with the support of the National Police Air Service helicopter, HM Coastguard and the RNLI.

Inspector Mark Latter, of Dorset Police, said: "We are growing increasingly concerned for the woman's welfare and are carrying out enquiries to locate her.
"The woman was on her own at the time of the incident and no belongings have been found following a search of the beach area."
Police have appealed for anyone who may have seen the woman in the Weymouth Esplanade area at the time to come forward.
Dozens of people have died after getting into trouble in open water this year, as the UK prepares for a fifth heatwave in the coming week.
Two record-breaking heatwaves in May and June led to more than 2,800 excess deaths.
On Wednesday, a body was recovered in the search for a 13-year-old boy who got into difficulty in the sea off the East Yorkshire coast, Humberside Police said.
A 14-year-old boy also drowned after going into the water in east London on Monday.
The National Water Safety Forum reported there were 202 water-related fatalities across the whole of last year in the UK, adding that 2026 data will not be published until May next year.
