The 2024 championship began with provincial tournaments in April and will end with the All-Ireland Final on 21 July.[1]

Limerick entered the championship as defending champions, having won the previous four championships. They were attempting to be the first team in history to win five-in-a-row, a feat never achieved in hurling. This had previously been attempted by Cork in 1945 and Kilkenny in 2010, both thwarted by Tipperary.

The All-Ireland final was played on 21 July 2024 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Clare and Cork. Clare won the game by 3–29 to 1–34 to claim their fifth title.[2]
