Mayo earn six awards in the 2026 GAA All-Stars, with 11 first-time winners across eight counties.
Three first-time inclusions come from Ulster: Armagh wing-back Jarly Óg Burns, Tyrone midfielder Conn Kilpatrick, and Monaghan wing-forward Stephen O'Hanlon. Burns, son of GAA president Jarlath Burns, helped Armagh end an 18-year wait for an Ulster title.
Westmeath captain Ronan Wallace is recognised after leading the Lake County to their first Leinster SFC title in 22 years. Louth's Dara McDonnell earns a centre-back spot following his performances in the Wee County's run to the All-Ireland semi-finals. McDonnell is also shortlisted for Young Footballer of the Year.
Niall Scully is Dublin's sole representative, collecting his second All-Star after first winning in 2020. GAA president Jarlath Burns praised the competitive nature of the season, noting that Mayo's achievements have been rightly rewarded.
The All-Stars ceremony, where Footballer of the Year will be crowned, takes place at Dublin's RDS Centre on Friday evening.
