The 2024 Meath Senior Hurling Championship is 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.[1][2] The championship is scheduled to run from 10 July to 13 October 2024.[3]
Kildalkey are the defending champions.[4][5]
Format change
[edit]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 Meath Senior B Hurling Championship. The losing SBHC quarter-finalists play in the relegation playoff.[6][7]
