Kilcormac–Killoughey were the defending champions.[3] Seir Kieran were due to be relegated, however, they earned a reprieve after Kilcormac–Killoughey decided not to field their second team, in spite of earning their right to promotion after winning the Senior B Championship.[4][5]
The final was played on 20 October 2024 at Glenisk O'Connor Park in Tullamore, between Kilcormac–Killoughey and Ballinamere, in what was their first ever meeting in the final.[6] It was Ballinamere's first appearance in the final since 1908.[7] Kilcormac–Killoughey won the match by 0–16 to 1–11 to claim their sixth championship title overall and a second title in succession.[8][9]
Kilcormac–Killoughey's Adam Screeney was the championship's top scorer with 3-50.
