The Royals surged to senior glory with a stunning final victory over Dublin at Croke Park on September 5, to bring the curtain down on a memorable season.

Runners-up Dublin, who had won the four previous Senior Finals, have been rewarded with nine nominations following a season that also saw the Sky Blues collect the National League Division 1 title.

Cork, who lost out to Meath in the All-Ireland semi-final, have seven players nominated for All Star awards, while Mayo, defeated by Dublin in the last four, have earned six nominations.

There are three nominees from Donegal, two each from Armagh and Galway, and one apiece from Kerry and Waterford.
