The 2024 Tailteann Cup was the third edition of the Tailteann Cup, the second-tier of Gaelic football for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the first-tier trophy). It was contested by seventeen GAA county teams who failed to reach their last 16 of the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.[1] Kildare made their first appearance.[2][3] The group draw took place on 30 April 2024.[4]
The final was played on 13 July 2024 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Down and Laois.[5] Down won after defeating Laois 0–14 to 2–06,[6] and qualified for the group stage of the 2025 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.[7]
