GPA Gaelic Team of the Year


The GPA Gaelic Team of the Year, known for sponsorship reasons as the Opel Gaelic Team of the Year, awards were an awards ceremony to honour the performances of
Gaelic Athletic Association players. The awards were judged and awarded by the Gaelic Players Association.
In 2011 the GAA and GPA announced that their respective annual player awards schemes were to merge under the sponsorship of Opel.
The first merged awards were given out in 2011.
