🌟 2025 GAA Rounders All-Stars & Club Award Winners Announced

The biggest night in the Rounders calendar will take place on Friday, 1st November, when over 220 guests gather in the Osprey Hotel, Naas for the 2025 GAA Rounders All-Stars Awards Night.

The annual black-tie celebration recognises outstanding achievement across all levels of the game — from Junior to Senior — and honours the players, coaches, and clubs who continue to drive Rounders forward throughout Ireland.

🏆 Highlights of the 2025 Season

This year’s Roll of Honour reflects another season of rapid progress and competitive balance across the country. Glynn Barntown, Erne Eagles, St Senans, and Galway Rapparees each played starring roles across their respective provinces.

Glynn Barntown (Wexford) once again led the way in Leinster, earning both Senior Team of the Year and Leinster Club of the Year honours following another season of consistency and silverware.

Erne Eagles (Cavan) maintained their dominance in Ulster, collecting Ulster Club of the Year while producing a host of Senior and Intermediate All-Stars.

St Senans (Limerick) enjoyed an incredible campaign, sweeping the Junior categories to secure Munster Club of the Year.

It was also a breakthrough year for Galway City Rapparees, who captured the Connacht Club of the Year title after a remarkable rise since their foundation in 2021. The club’s success was underlined by Ili Tuimauga’s Intermediate Men’s All-Star award — the first in Rapparees’ history — highlighting the growing strength of Rounders in the west.

At Intermediate and Junior level, Emo (Laois) were named Intermediate Team of the Year, with Kilmore (Roscommon) taking Junior Team of the Year after a fine season of development and results.
