The 2024 Shelbourne F.C. season was the club's 129th season in existence, their third season back in the League of Ireland Premier Division following promotion from the League of Ireland First Division in 2021, and their first season back in European competition since 2006, competing in the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League.
In May 2024, Dublin City Council voted in favour of granting the club a 250-year lease on Tolka Park.
On the 1st of November 2024, a late goal by Harry Wood sealed a 1–0 win away to Derry City, confirming Shelbourne as the champions of the 2024 League of Ireland Premier Division, their first league title for eighteen years. The match attracted a record TV audience for a domestic game in Ireland.
Defender Paddy Barrett and midfielder and club captain Mark Coyle were named in 2024 PFAI Team of the Year, while Damien Duff was named Manager of the Year.
