Following a dream summer which saw Mayo end their 75-year wait for All-Ireland glory, six players have earned an all-star award.
Apart from Ryan O'Donoghue, it is a first award for the rest of the Mayo players, who's achievements will be recognised at the GAA/GPA Football All Star awards on Friday night.
In the full-back line, Sam Callinan and Enda Hession have been recognised for their performances.
In midfield, Jack Carney, who has also been nominated for Player of the Year, has been named.
In the forward line, Ryan O'Donoghue is named in the half-forward line, with Kobe McDonald and Darragh Beirne named in the full-forward line, who are both nominated for Young Footballer of the Year.
Beaten finalists Kerry take three statues, with six other counties sharing the remainder between them on one each.
The 2026 Football All-Star team: Shane Ryan (Kerry), Sam Callinan (Mayo), Jason Foley (Kerry); Enda Hession (Mayo); Ronan Wallace (Westmeath), Dara McDonnell (Louth), Jarlath Og Burns (Armagh); Conn Kilpatrick (Tyrone), Jack Carney (Mayo); Niall Scully (Dublin), Ryan O’Donoghue (Mayo), Stephen O’Hnalon (Monaghan); Darragh Beirne (Mayo), David Clifford (Kerry) and Kobe McDonald (Mayo).
The awards can be watched live on RTÉ Two from 7.30pm, where the Footballer and Young Footballer of the year will be announced.
