The 2024 Meath Senior Hurling Championship was the 121st staging of the Meath Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Meath County Board in 1887. The draw for the group stage fixtures took place on 20 March 2024. The championship ran from 10 July to 13 October 2024.
Kildalkey entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Trim in the semi-finals.
The final was played on 13 October 2024 at Páirc Tailteann in Navan, between Ratoath and Trim, in what was their third meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in two years. Ratoath won the match by 2–15 to 1–16 to claim their second championship title overall and a first title in 61 years.
Ratoath's Pádraig O'Hanrahan was the championship's top scorer with 1-72.
Format change
County committee delegates approved major changes to the championship format in February 2024. Five different format proposals were put before delegates with one winning unanimous favour and no support for the remaining four. The new format saw two groups of six teams, with a seeded draw. The top three team in each group play in the SHC knockout stage and the bottom three teams in each group advances to the Senior B Hurling Championship. The losing SBHC quarter-finalists play in the relegation playoff.
