The 2024 Stu Sells Oakville Tankard was held from September 6 to 9 at the Oakville Curling Club in Oakville, Ontario. The event was held in a triple knockout format with a purse of $30,000 on both the men's and women's sides. It was the first Stu Sells sponsored event held as part of the 2024–25 season.
In the men's event, Yannick Schwaller's Swiss rink from Geneva stole one in an extra end to beat Germany's Marc Muskatewitz 6–5. Schwaller, with fourth Benoît Schwarz-van Berkel, second Sven Michel and lead Pablo Lachat finished the event with a 7–2 record, qualifying for the playoff through the last chance C Event. Once qualified, the Swiss team knocked off the top two remaining seeds Bruce Mouat and Brad Gushue in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively to reach the final. The German team, hailing from Füssen, also went 7–2 through the week, defeating Team Schwaller to qualify through the B side. In the playoffs, the team downed Korey Dropkin 9–2 in the quarterfinals and Marco Hösli 9–6 in the semifinals. Rounding out the playoff field was the Asian rinks of Riku Yanagisawa and Xu Xiaoming. Missing from the final eight was world number three ranked Ross Whyte who lost in a C qualifier.
In the women's final, Xenia Schwaller and her reigning world junior championship rink of Selina Gafner, Fabienne Rieder and Selina Rychiger stole three in the seventh end to defeat Kayla Skrlik 7–6. The Swiss team, that came into the event ranked eleventh in the world, qualified through the B side with a 3–1 record. They then shutout British Columbia's Kayla MacMillan 6–0 in the quarterfinals before defeating China's Wang Rui 5–3 in the semifinals. Alberta's Team Skrlik also qualified out of the B Event with a 4–1 record before playoff victories over Italy's Stefania Constantini and the United States' Delaney Strouse to reach the final. Rounding out the playoff bracket was A qualifiers Sayaka Yoshimura and Danielle Inglis who both lost in their respective quarterfinal matches. Of note, 2023 finalists Ha Seung-youn and Rebecca Morrison both competed in the event but did not reach the playoff round.
