Waterford captain and right half-forward Niamh Rockett completes this year’s winning selection.
Kilkenny manager Brian Dowling was named as Manager of the Year for the first time after guiding his team to All-Ireland glory in December.
Kilkenny’s Denise Gaule also collected the Camogie Association/WGPA Senior Players’ Player of the Year award following on from her match-winning performance in the All-Ireland Senior final in December.
Niamh Mallon of Down won the Intermediate accolade whilst Armagh’s Ciara Donnelly was chosen as the Junior Players’ Player of the Year.
All three were selected after voting by intercounty players through the WGPA with the awards sponsored by Liberty Insurance.
Speaking at the virtual event on Saturday evening, Camogie Association President Kathleen Woods congratulated the association's players;
“This event is down to the commitment of you, our players. It is down to the commitment of Liberty Insurance our sponsors who stood firmly with us throughout 2020. It is down to the commitment of county managers and county boards to comply with all the protocols and procedures that were necessary. To all of you, thank you.
“You, our All-Star nominees played the Championships behind closed doors in empty stadia and it didn’t curtail you’re your passion and commitment. Thank you also to the WGPA for their input in the Players’ Player of the Year awards.
“Congratulations to all of tonight’s nominees and winners. Let us now look forward to the 2021 Championships.”
