WATCH: 2026 Western People Mayo Sports Stars Awards highlights

It was a night to remember at the 2026 Western People Mayo Sports Stars Awards as the county's brightest sporting talents were honoured last (Friday) night in Breaffy House Hotel.

The 55th edition of the event was held in the hotel's newly-refurbished ballroom and it was packed to capacity and in addition to the special guest in Mayo's All-Ireland winning manager Andy Moran, the Sam Maguire Cup was on stage for the first time ever at the Sports Stars following Mayo's All-Ireland win back in July.

You can watch some highlights of the event below and be sure to pick up a copy of this Tuesday's Western People for comprehensive coverage of the event.
