Ladies' Gaelic Football All Stars Awards


The Ladies' Gaelic Football All Stars Awards have been hosted annually by the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association since 1980. TG4 sponsors it. O'Neills have also helped sponsor the awards. All Stars are awarded to the best ladies' Gaelic football players in each of the fifteen playing positions, effectively forming an All Star team. Between 1980 and 2002 the All Stars played an annual exhibition game against the winners of the Senior Ladies' Football Championship. Since 2004 the LGFA have organised bi-annual overseas exhibition games featuring two All Star selections. Since 2011 the LGFA has also organised three Player's Player of the Year awards, one each for the Senior, [All-Ireland All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship|Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship|Intermediate] and [All-Ireland All-Ireland Junior Ladies' Football Championship|Junior Ladies' Football Championship|Junior] All-Ireland Championships. These awards are announced and presented at the same ceremony as the All Stars. Mary J. Curran of Kerry and Cora Staunton of Mayo hold the all-time record for winning the most All Stars.
