The 2024 Atlantic University Sport Curling Championships presented by Bell were held from February 8 to 11 at the Montague Curling Club in Montague, Prince Edward Island.[1] The top two men's and women's teams qualified for the 2024 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick, hosted by the University of New Brunswick who received an automatic berth as the hosts. Because the UNB Reds women's team qualified for the final, a third-place game was held to determine the second qualifying team.

In the men's final, the Dalhousie Tigers won their seventh AUS title by defeating the Saint Mary's Huskies 8–5. As the UNB men's team lost the semifinal, no third-place game was held. Both Dalhousie and Saint Mary's qualified for U Sports.[2]

In the women's final, the UNB Reds won their first AUS championship, defeating the defending champions Dalhousie Tigers 5–4 in an extra end. The third-place game saw the Mount Allison Mounties steal in a double extra end to down the Saint Mary's Huskies 8–7. Both Dalhousie and Mount Allison qualified for the U Sport championship.[2]
