All-Ireland champions Dublin have claimed an all-time joint-record nine 2020 PwC All-Stars as runners-up Mayo picked up just two — the worst return for losing finalists since Tyrone in 2018.

In capturing the Sam Maguire Cup for the sixth consecutive time, Dublin’s total number of awards is by far their best in their golden era. In 2015 and in each of the four seasons from 2017 to 2020, they were acknowledged with seven, while in 2011, 2013, and 2016 they took six.
