The 2024 season saw Western Storm compete in the 50 over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup. In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the side won two of their ten matches, finishing seventh in the group.[1] In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, the side finished bottom of the group, winning four of their fourteen matches.[2]

The side was captained by Sophie Luff and coached by Trevor Griffin.[3] They played five home matches at the County Ground, Taunton, three at the County Ground, Bristol, and two apiece at Sophia Gardens and College Ground, Cheltenham.[4][5]

This was Western Storm's final season in existence, effectively being replaced by a professionalised Somerset team under the England and Wales Cricket Board's changes to the structure of women's domestic cricket from 2025 onwards.[6]
