The 2024 League of Ireland Premier Division, known as the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division for sponsorship reasons,[2] was the 40th season of the League of Ireland Premier Division, the top Irish league for association football clubs since its establishment in 1985.
The competition began on 16 February 2024 and concluded on 1 November 2024.[3][4][5][6]
On 1 November, Shelbourne won the title for the first time since 2006 after a 1-0 win against Derry City at the Brandywell.[7][8][9] That match attracted a record tv audience for a League of Ireland game. [10]
