Tipperary's magnificent seven collect All-Stars
Jake Morris and Ronan Maher are two of Tipperary's seven All-Star recipients
- Published
Tipperary top the charts in the 2025 Hurling All-Stars with the All-Ireland champions picking up seven awards.
Runners-up Cork have four named, with two from Kilkenny and one apiece from Dublin and Galway on a team that has no fewer than 10 first-time winners.
Premier County goalkeeper Rhys Shelly is rewarded for a superb campaign which saw him save a late penalty in the All-Ireland final with selection between the posts for the first time.
Robert Doyle's goal line save in the semi-final against Kilkenny is one of the standout moments of the year and it helped the Tipperary man gain his place at corner-back for his first All-Star with Cork's Sean O'Donoghue also a first-time winner in the other corner, while Huw Lawlor's performances at full-back for Kilkenny sees him pick up his third award.
The theme is repeated in the half-back line with Tipperary's Eoghan Connolly and Cork's Ciaran Joyce winning their first All-Stars, with Tipp captain Ronan Maher at centre-back for a career third.
Cork's driving Darragh Fitzgibbon picks up his third award at midfield and is joined by Galway's Cathal Mannion who wins his second, 10 years after his first, following a campaign in which he plundered 2-67.
Dublin's Cian O'Sullivan is one of 10 first-time winners
Five of the six forwards are debutants including the entire half-forward line which includes Player of the Year nominee Jake Morris. He is joined by fellow Tipperary man Andrew Ormond, while Dublin's sole representative is Cian O'Sullivan whose 5-22 from play helped his team to an All-Ireland semi-final appearance.
In the full-forward line, Kilkenny's Martin Keoghan picks up his first award, following in thew footsteps of his father Liam. The remaining two make up the rest of the Player of the Year nominees as Cork powerhouse Brian Hayes picks up his first All-Star, while Tipperary goal machine John McGrath collects his second and first since 2016.
The Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards recipients will be revealed at Friday's gala event in Dublin along with the football awards.
