The 2024 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final, the 137th event of its kind and the culmination of the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, is due to be played at Croke Park on 21 July 2024.[1][2][3] If the game is a draw, it will be replayed on 3 August.[4]

Background

Main article: Clare–Cork hurling rivalry
  • Clare are making their eighth final appearance, and their first since winning in 2013. They also won in the finals of 1914, 1995 and 1997, and were beaten finalists in 1889, 1932 and 2002.
  • Cork are aiming to win their first title since 2005; they are the second most successful county in the championship's history, with 30 wins; their current streak of 18 consecutive seasons without an All-Ireland is the longest in their history.[5]
  • The two teams have met in the final once before, in 2013, with Clare winning after a replay.[6]
  • The fifth final to involve two Munster teams, after 1997 (Clare beat Tipperary), 2013 (Clare beat Cork), 2020 (Limerick beat Waterford) and 2021 (Limerick beat Cork).
  • This will be the fourth final to involve neither the Munster nor the Leinster champions (in 2024, Limerick and Kilkenny). The previous occasions were:
    • 2004 (Cork beat Kilkenny; Waterford and Wexford were provincial champions)
    • 2013 (Clare beat Cork; Dublin and Limerick were provincial champions)
    • 2019 (Tipperary beat Kilkenny; Wexford and Limerick were provincial champions)
