The 2024 United Rugby Championship final was the final match of the 2023–24 United Rugby Championship season. The final was between the Bulls and Glasgow Warriors.[2]
The Grand Final was held in South Africa for the third time in succession,[3][4] with a second appearance for the Bulls following their defeat in 2022, and a first appearance for Glasgow Warriors who are the first Scottish team, and the first team outside of South Africa and Ireland, to reach the final since the competition adopted its current format. For the third year in succession, the top-seeded team at the start of the play-offs failed to reach the final.
