The 2024 Copa Venezuela, officially named Copa Venezuela Luis Mendoza 2024, was the 51st edition of the Venezuelan football cup, which returned after a five-year hiatus. The competition began on 6 June with the participation of 14 Primera División and 16 Segunda División teams,[1] and ended on 20 July 2024.[2] The final match, which was originally slated to be played at Estadio Metropolitano de Cabudare,[3] was ultimately moved to Estadio Brígido Iriarte in Caracas.[4]

Deportivo La Guaira won their third title in the competition, after defeating Metropolitanos 1–0 in the final.[5] Zamora were the defending champions, having won the tournament in its most recent edition held in 2019,[6] but were defeated by Academia Puerto Cabello in the round of 16.
