The 2024 World Bowls Indoor Championships took place at the Guernsey Indoor Bowling Association in the Channel Islands from 21 to 27 April 2024. The event was organised by World Bowls and the International Indoor Bowls Council (IIBC).
The format of the Championships is one player representing each county in the singles and two in the pairs. A round robin determines the top player/team in each section progressing to the quarter finals and the second place player/team progressing to the knockout round. One second place team was also drawn out of the hat to progress to the quarter final.
