The GAA and GPA in association with Opel are delighted to confirm the 2015 Hurling All-Stars with reigning All-Ireland champions Kilkenny leading the way with a total of seven awards on the back of their recent final victory of Galway.

Beaten finalists Galway have been awarded four positions on the coveted 15 while the remainder go to Waterford (three) and Tipperary (one) meaning a total of four counties are honoured in the selection.

Of Kilkenny’s haul of seven, Joey Holden and Ger Aylward collect their first ever awards while Paul Murphy lands his fourth.

In total there are seven first time recipients and five survivors from the 2014 team – with Séamus Callanan the only non-Kilkenny player to receive awards in both seasons.

The Football Selection will be announced live on RTÉ One television on Friday evening as will the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year winners in both codes.
