Cork entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Tipperary in the Munster final.[3][4][5]

The All-Ireland final was played on 1 June 2024. UPMC Nowlan Park in Kilkenny was chosen as the venue to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of GAA President James Nowlan.[6] It was Offaly and Tipperary's second time meeting in the All-Ireland final and was their first meeting in 35 years. Offaly won the match by 2-20 to 2-14 to claim their first ever championship title.[7]

Offaly's Adam Screeney was the championship's top scorer with 1-62.
