The 2024 Offaly Senior Hurling Championship was the 127th staging of the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Offaly County Board in 1896. The draw for the group stage placings was made on 20 February 2024. The championship ran from 18 July to 20 October 2024.

Kilcormac–Killoughey were the defending champions. Seir Kieran were due to be relegated, however, they earned a reprieve after Kilcormac–Killoughey decided not to field their second team, in spite of earning their right to promotion after winning the Senior B Championship.

The final was played on 20 October 2024 at Glenisk O'Connor Park in Tullamore, between Kilcormac–Killoughey and Ballinamere, in what will be their first ever meeting in the final. It will be Ballinamere's first appearance in the final since 1908. Kilcormac–Killoughey won the match by 0–16 to 1–11 to claim their sixth championship title overall and a second title in succession.

Kilcormac–Killoughey's Adam Screeney was the championship's top scorer with 3-50.
