Kerry and Tipperary were the big winners at Friday night’s PwC GAA All-Star Awards, celebrating the best performers of the 2025 season.
In football, Kerry dominated with eight players named on the All-Star team. David Clifford once again stole the show, claiming the Footballer of the Year award for a third time.
Donegal’s Finnbarr Roarty was honoured as Young Footballer of the Year, capping off a breakthrough season. Meath’s Seán Rafferty made history by earning his county’s first All-Star in 18 years, while players from Donegal, Armagh and Louth also featured in the final selection.
In hurling, Tipperary’s superb campaign was recognised with seven All-Star awards. Star forward John McGrath crowned a stellar year by being named Hurler of the Year, following his key role in Tipperary’s triumph over Cork at Croke Park.
