All-Ireland champions Tyrone have won eight All-Star awards to cap a dream 2021 season.
Niall Morgan, Pádraig Hampsey, Conor Meyler, Peter Harte, Kieran McGeary, Brian Kennedy, Niall Sludden and Darren McCurry all picked up honours for the Red Hands.
Beaten finalists Mayo and Munster champions Kerry have three apiece on the selection, while Dublin's Ciarán Kilkenny is also included.
Lee Keegan, Matthew Ruane and Ryan O'Donoghue represent the Connacht champions, while Tom O'Sullivan, Paudie Clifford and David Clifford have been recognised for the Kingdom.
Kieran McGeary was named Footballer of the Year, while Oisin Mullin - who recently signed with Australian Rules side Geelong Cats - won the Young Footballer of the Year gong for a second consecutive year.
On Thursday, the hurling selection was announced. Limerick scooped a record 12 awards, while All-Ireland finalists Cork were left empty-handed.
The two individual honours in the small ball were claimed by previous winners. Eoin Cody was named Young Hurler of the Year for the second consecutive season. Meanwhile, Cian Lynch joined Henry Shefflin in an exclusive club of players to have won the Hurler of the Year award on more than one occasion, backing up his 2018 crown.
