by · The42

THE NOMINEES FOR the 2025 PwC Camogie All-Star awards have been revealed.

All-Ireland finalists Cork lead the way with 11 nominees, while champions Galway have one less in 10.

Galway ended Cork’s three in a row hopes by winning a thrilling All-Ireland final 1-14 to 1-13 last month.

Semi-finalists Tipperary and Waterford are recognised with five and six nominees respectively, while Kilkenny have three players on the long list.

One Clare nominee completes the selection, with six counties represented.

The PwC GPA Camogie Player of the Year nominees have also been announced.

Galway duo Aoife Donohue — Player of the Match in the final — and Dervla Higgins are in contention for the senior gong, alongside Saoirse McCarthy of Cork.

Donohue was previously named Player of the Year in 2021, while she was nominated alongside McCarthy last year as Laura Hayes reigned supreme. This is McCarthy’s third nomination in a row.
