The 2024 TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship was the 129th staging of the Clare Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Clare County Board in 1887.
The draws for the 2024 Clare club championship group stages took place on 21 May 2024.[2] The championship was contested by 16 teams, reduced by 1 from the 2023 championship.[3] The group stage was in a round-robin format, with each team playing each team in their group once.
The draws for the quarter-finals and relegation playoffs took place on 9 September 2024.[4] The quarter-finals were played between the winners of each group versus the runners up of each group. The relegation playoffs were played between the last-place teams of each group, with the losers of these entering a relegation final to determine the relegated team.
The draws for the semi-finals and relegation final took place on 24 September 2024.[5] The semi-final between Sixmilebridge and Inagh-Kilnamona featured a penalty shoot-out for the first time in the history of the Clare Senior Hurling Championship, with Sixmilebridge winning 4-3 after seven penalties each.[6] Feakle won the other semi-final, bringing them to their first Senior Clare final in 36 years.[7] O'Callaghan's Mills lost the relegation final, demoting them to the Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship for 2025.
The final, originally scheduled for October 20th, was postponed until October 28th due to Storm Ashley.[8] Feakle won the final, attaining their first Clare senior hurling title since 1988.[9]
