All-Ireland champions Limerick lead the way with seven players selected in the 2022 PWC All-Stars hurling team. While Limerick wing back Diarmaid Byrnes has won the Hurler of the Year award.

It is a far cry from the 12 players they had selected last year, with the omission of Sean Finn making him the most notable absentee. Finn had won All-Stars for the previous four years in a row.
