The 2024 Westmeath Senior Hurling Championship was the 120th staging of the Westmeath Senior Hurling Championship.

A total of six teams contested the Westmeath Senior Hurling Championship. All six teams enter the round-robin stage, playing each other once, guaranteeing at least five championship games. The first round draws of games were streamed live via YouTube on April 4,[1] while the full schedule was released via Twitter on June 17.[2]

St Oliver Plunkett's GAA were promoted to the championship as last year's Senior 'B' champions[3] replacing relegated Fr Daltons from last year.[4]

Raharney entered the championship as defending champions,[5][6][7] but were eliminated at the group stage.[8][9]

The final was initially to be played October 27, at TEG Cusack Park in Mullingar between Castletown Geoghegan and Lough Lene Gaels,[10][11] but was abandoned after 13 minutes due to unplayable conditions.[12][13][14] The replayed match took place on November 2,[15] with Castletown Geoghegan winning 1-27 - 2-17 to lift their 15th county title.[16][17][18][19]
