The 2024 All-Island Cup final, known as the Avenir All-Island Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was the final match of the 2024 All-Island Cup, a knock-out women's association football competition contested annually by clubs affiliated with the Football Association of Ireland and the Irish Football Association. It took place on 17 August 2024 at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, and was contested by Cliftonville and Galway United. Galway won the match 4–3 on penalties following a 0–0 draw after extra time to retain the cup, meaning they had won both of the first two editions of the tournament.
Background The two sides had already faced twice that season in the league, one of which was seven days before the final, both of which ended in 1–0 victories for Galway United.
Galway United won the cup in 2023, defeating Cliftonville 1–0 at The Showgrounds in the final.
