All Stars Footballer of the Year


The Gaelic Athletic Association & Gaelic Player's Association All Stars Footballer of the Year — known for sponsorship reasons as the Vodafone Footballer of the Year — is a gaelic football award. It is presented annually to the footballer who performed outstandingly in that year's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Trevor Giles of Meath is the only player to have won the award on two occasions. The 2019 winner was Stephen Cluxton of Dublin.

History

Created in 1995, the award is part of the All Stars Awards, which selects a "fantasy team", comprising the best players from that year's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Voting for the award is undertaken by a select group of journalists from television and the print media.
