The 2024 Laois Senior Hurling Championship was the 131st staging of the Laois Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Laois County Board in 1888. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 29 February 2024.[1][2] The championship ran from 17 July to 6 October 2024.

Camross entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Clough–Ballacolla in the semi-final stage.[3][4][5][6] No team was relegated as a result of the championship expanding to 10 teams in 2025.[7][8]

The final was played on 6 October 2024 at Laois Hire O'Moore Park in Port Laoise, between Clough–Ballacolla and Rathdowney–Errill, in what was their second meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in 12 years.[9][10] Clough–Ballacolla won the match by 2–22 to 0–22 to claim their 12th championship title overall and a first title in two years.[11]

Rathdowney–Errill's Ross King was the championship's top scorer with 1-47.
