The 2024 RFL Women's Super League (also known as the Betfred Women's Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the eighth season of the Women's Super League, for female players in clubs affiliated to the Rugby Football League (RFL).
It was the first season following a re-structure of the women's game. The number of clubs in the Super League was reduced from 12 to 8 but playing as one league rather than two groups of six as in 2023. The regular season comprised 14 rounds commencing on 19 April.[1]
The Super League champions were determined after the top four teams played-off to decide which clubs would compete in the Grand Final on 6 October.[2] York Valkyrie retained their title, after narrowly defeating St Helens 18–8 in the final, which saw a record attendance of 4,813 for a Women's Super League grand final.
The club finishing bottom played-off against the winners of the 2024 RFL Women's Championship for a place in the 2025 RFL Women's Super League.[2] This match, which was also played on 6 October,[3] saw Leigh Leopards promoted from the championship, after they won 34–16 against Featherstone Rovers.
