The Dublin manager and the former Mayo boss will take charge of the two teams in Saturday’s Allstar football game in Boston.
Horan will manage the 2014 panel in the absence of Jim McGuinness, who is unavailable to travel, while Gavin will manage the 2013 selection.

Thirty-one players are confirmed for the tour to America after club commitments forced some high-profile names to withdraw.
Kerry star Kieran Donaghy is preparing for the Munster senior football final with Austin Stacks on Sunday while Kingdom team-mate Paul Murphy is in action in the East Kerry Football Final replay with Rathmore.
Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly has his sights set on 14 December and St Vincent’s Leinster SFC title defence against Rhode.
