The 2024 North Carolina Courage season was the team's eighth season as a professional women's soccer team. The Courage played in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. They finished the regular season in fifth place and qualified for the playoffs, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by the fourth-seeded Kansas City Current.[1]

Background

In the 2023 National Women's Soccer League season, the Courage were on top of the league standings in July but finished the season in 3rd place, then fell in the first round of the NWSL playoffs to eventual champions NJ/NY Gotham FC.[2][3] Forward Kerolin scored 10 goals and was named the NWSL MVP.[3] The Courage won the NWSL Challenge Cup for the second year in a row.[4]
