LGFA - Orlagh Nolan wins All Star Award

Dubliner Nolan named on All Star Team of 2026

Dublin’s Orlagh Nolan was the County’s only representative on the 2026 TG4 All Star Team. Nolan was named at centre forward as both Ireland finalists Galway and Kerry dominated the team selection.

All Ireland champions Galway picked up seven awards, defenders Brónagh Quinn, Kate Geraghty (TG4 All-Ireland winning captain), Hannah Noone and Nicola Ward, midfielder Niamh Divilly and attackers Olivia Divilly and Leanne Coen.

Runners-up Kerry were rewarded with five TG4 All-Star awards, namely goalkeeper Mary Ellen Bolger, defenders Róisín Rahilly and Emma Costello, midfielder Mary O’Connell, and team captain Síofra O’Shea, the leading scorer in this year’s TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship.

There was one award each for All-Ireland semi-finalists Armagh and Dublin, with Aimee Mackin and Orlagh Nolan honoured in attack. This was Nolans third All star award.

Waterford’s Kellyann Hogan is also included in the half-forward line, which means the Déise have a TG4 All-Star for the second year in succession, following Emma Murray’s award in 2025.
