The 2024 Durand Cup (also known as IndianOil Durand Cup due to sponsorship ties with the Indian Oil Corporation) was the 133rd edition of Durand Cup, the oldest football tournament in Asia, and the third edition since it was supported by the Asian Football Confederation. The tournament is hosted by the Durand Football Tournament Society in co-operation with the AIFF, Eastern Command of the Indian Armed Forces and the Government of West Bengal, supported by the governments Assam and Meghalaya.

This is the third season of the tournament wherein all the clubs in the top tier Indian Super League have been mandated to participate (but later Hyderabad FC withdrew), along with I-League, I-League 2 (Hyderabad FC was replaced by Meghalaya State League club Rangdajied United), I-League 3 and state leagues clubs, and guest invitees representing armed forces.[1]

Mohun Bagan SG were the defending champions, having defeated the East Bengal in the 2023 final.[2]

The 2024 Durand Cup final saw NorthEast United beat the defending champions Mohun Bagan to win this tournament and the club's first ever trophy in their history.
