2024 TCR Australia Touring Car Series

The 2024 TCR Australia Series (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2024 Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series) was the fifth season of the TCR Australia Touring Car Series. The series ras as part of the Australian Racing Group's SpeedSeries. Initially, the rounds at Sydney Motorsport Park and Mount Panorama Circuit were scheduled to be part of the TCR World Tour, but the rounds were removed from that championship due to logistics issues for teams transporting cars in to the country.

Josh Buchan became the first multiple time and back to back champion of the series, after securing the championship.
