Kildare claimed five spots on the Tailteann Cup Team of the Year after a season in which the county claimed the second tier double.
Brian Flanagan's side became the fourth winners of the Tailteann Cup - following Westmeath, Meath and Down - holding off a late rally from Limerick to secure the trophy and ensure their spot in the Sam Maguire competition for next year.
Defenders Harry O'Neill and James McGrath earned spots at corner back and wing back respectively, captain Kevin Feely is named at midfield, while the Naas pair of Alex Beirne and Darragh Kirwan are selected in attack.
Limerick were just one shy of the champions in selections, with Billy Lee's side earning four spots after an impressive campaign in which they secured the Division 4 title.
Josh Ryan takes the goalkeeper's berth, while Iain Corbett is selected at wing-back. Record-breaker James Naughton - who registered 4-12 in a league win over Waterford - and Danny Neville take their place in the half-forward line.
Otherwise, semi-finalists Wicklow took two spots, Malachy Stone at corner back, while Dean Healy is alongside Feely in midfield. Westmeath also have two players named, the prolific Luke Loughlin selected at corner forward, while Sam McCartan is at wing back.
Two other counties have one player apiece, Fermanagh's Lee Cullen taking the full-back berth, while Wexford's Sean Nolan is at left-full forward.
GAA President Jarlath Burns said: "Kildare follow in the footsteps of Westmeath, Meath and Down in using the Tailteann Cup as a stepping stone to their Sam Maguire ambitions. In four short years this competition has fulfilled our ambition of injecting new life into championship football.
"This dedicated award's scheme is also a key to its success, allowing us to recognise some of
the outstanding performers from across the packed summer of games. Congratulations to
all those who have been chosen as the cream of the 2025 crop."
The winners will be presented with their awards tomorrow night at a special black-tie event at Croke Park where they will be guests of honour alongside the Champion 15 and Joe McDonagh Team of the Year members. The event will be streamed live by the GAA on YouTube from 7pm.
