The Late Late Show returns this Friday night (17 January) with a "GAA Special".
All-Ireland winning captains Aidan Forker (Armagh), Tony Kelly (Clare), Niamh Carmody (Kerry) and Molly Lynch (Cork) will be on the talk show.
They will discuss last summer in Croke Park, the season that was their All-Ireland glory and what they are looking forward to in 2025.
GAA President Jarlath Burns will also be speaking exclusively to The Late Late Show after a rollercoaster first year in office.
RTÉ have said the episode will see him talk "publicly for the first time on some of the recently surfaced issues facing the GAA, and answering some of the critical questions they have raised".
Two of Ireland’s most famous podcasters and presenters, The 2 Johnnies, will open this week's Late Late with their massive hit 'When I Play for the County'.
They will also discuss their recent highlights, including winning a Junior B title with their local club, Cahir, and reaching the number-one spot with their debut album.
As well as this, RTÉ Sports' Evanne Ní Chuilinn, author of The Great Irish Book of Gaelic Games, will be on the programme.
She will talk about the spirit of the GAA and the volunteers up and down the country who keep the show on the road and how, having played camogie her whole life, Mothers and Others inspired her to take up football.
Former Gaelic footballer and pundit, Pat Spillane, will also be present to discuss how the GAA is in his blood and is part of his identity and how he believes we're at the dawn of a brand new era of Gaelic Football.
Six months on from the passing of GAA commentator and national treasure Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, host Patrick Kielty will be speaking to some of Mícheál’s family about his lifetime and legacy.
Also, on the night Marty Morrissey will have a special surprise for a GAA hero as he visits them at their club.
The Late Late Show is airing on RTÉ One on Friday at 9.35pm.
