All-Ireland hurling champions Tipperary lead the way with seven PwC all-star awards for 2025.

Beaten finalists Cork have four players, Kilkenny have two, with one each from Galway and Dublin.

This is the first year since 2017 that there is no Limerick inclusion on the All-Star team.

Tipperary goalkeeper Rhys Shelly is among the first-time recipients, seeing off Cork’s Patrick Collins and Limerick’s Nickie Quaid for the accolade.

The full-back line includes Tipperary's Robert Doyle, Kilkenny's Huw Lawlor, and Cork’s Seán O’Donoghue.

The half-back line includes Cork's Ciarán Joyce, Tipperary's Eoghan Connolly and Ronan Maher.

The Midfield is made up of Cork's Darragh Fitzgibbon and Galway's Cathal Mannion.

In the half-forward line, Dublin's Cian O'Sullivan is rewarded for helping them reach the All-Ireland semi-finals, and is joined by two men crucial to Tipperary's All-Ireland, Jake Morris and Andrew Ormond.

Completing the team in the full forward line are Kilkenny's Martin Keoghan, Tipperary's John McGrath, and Cork's Brian Hayes.

The players will be presented with their awards at Friday night’s gala event at the RDS.

The Hurler of the Year and Young Hurler of the Year will also be announced live on the night. The three nominees for Hurler of the Year are: John McGrath, Jake Morris, and Brian Hayes.
