Fourteen categories were not considered at this year's FAI awards due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a winless 2020 for the men's senior team, John Egan was selected as the best performer ahead of Enda Stevens and Matt Doherty.

Denise O'Sullivan beat Katie McCabe and Diane Caldwell to the women's senior player of the year award, she previously claimed the honour in 2015.
