The 2024 Christy Ring Cup was the twentieth edition of the Christy Ring Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2005[1] and is the third-tier of Hurling for senior county teams (the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the first-tier trophy). It is contested by six GAA county teams ranked 18–23 in the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The competition ran from 13 April to 2 June 2024.[2]

The Christy Ring Cup final was played on 2 June 2024 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Kildare and Derry, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Kildare won the match by 4-21 to 1-22 to claim their fifth cup title overall and a first title in two years.[3][4]

London's Jack Goulding was the top scorer with 5-50.
