"I'm over the moon to win the award," Kearns told Liverpoolfc.com. "Thanks to everyone who voted - it's great to win it alongside Lauren, who has been my mate since U15 level at England.
"Each nominee is a friend and someone I have played with and it just shows how far the game is going and how much youth talent is out there.
"It's unbelievable to see. It's a proud moment for my family and hopefully I can keep kicking on and achieving things."
She accepted the prize during the awards on Thursday evening in London, with the ceremony the first publicly-voted initiative to recognise all levels of the women's game.
