The 2024 Rugby Africa Women's Cup was the tournament's fourth edition and was held in Antananarivo, Madagascar from 4 to 12 May. The champion qualified directly for the 2025 Rugby World Cup and also for the 2024 WXV 2 competition. The runner-up qualified for the 2024 WXV 3 and also has a chance of qualifying for the 2025 Women's World Cup as the remaining six places will be awarded to the highest-finishing teams in WXV who have not qualified via the 2021 Rugby World Cup or the regional tournaments.
South Africa defended their title successfully and booked their spot in next year's Women's Rugby World Cup. Runners-up, Madagascar, will be making their WXV debut in September.
