The 15 standout footballers from this year’s Sigerson Cup have been honoured on the 2025 Electric Ireland GAA Higher Education Rising Stars Football Team of the Year.

DCU took home their sixth Sigerson Cup title, winning for the first time since 2020. This came after defeating Dublin County rivals University College Dublin (UCD) in the final at the University of Galway Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence, Bekan, Co. Mayo.

UCD reached the final after a penalty shootout win against a strong TU Dublin side, hoping to claim their first title since 2018. However, DCU DÉ's dominant defence stifled the UCD attack in the final. 

After another season of thrilling talent and showstopping performances, champions DCU DÉ dominate the 2025 Team of the Year with seven players earning a spot. Runner’s up UCD cover four spaces, with semi-finalists TU Dublin and UU filling two places each on the star-studded squad.
