The 2024 Champions Trophy was the 6th edition of the Champions Trophy. It was held at the Royal Tennis Court from 30 July to 4 August.[1] It was a qualifying event for the 2025 Real Tennis World Championship.
The format of the event was modified from previous versions. The match format was reduced from a best-of-5 set to a best-of-3 set format, with the qualifying expanded from one group of four to two groups of four.[2] Defending champion John Lumley did not return to defend his title. World Champion Camden Riviere was also not in attendance. The event was won by Nick Howell, his first Champions Trophy title.[3] Howell beat Ben Taylor-Matthews in the final, his fourth Champions Trophy final. Both finalists lost in the first round and had to play through the repechage matches against qualifiers.
