The 2024 European Rugby Champions Cup final was the final match of the 2023–24 European Rugby Champions Cup, and the 29th European club rugby final in general. It was contested by Leinster and Toulouse, the two most decorated clubs in the competition's history.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was the host venue of the final, becoming the second stadium in London to host the final after Twickenham Stadium.^[1]

The final was won by Toulouse, who beat Leinster 31–22 after extra-time.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Background

For the first time, the competition's two most decorated clubs met in a Champions Cup final.^[5] Toulouse had previously won 5 times (1996, 2003, 2005, 2010 and 2021), while Leinster have previously won 4 times in (2009, 2011, 2012 and 2018).^[6]

Both finalists appeared in the final for the eighth time. Toulouse's most recent appearance had been their triumph in 2021, while Leinster were the defeated finalists in both previous editions (2022, 2023) and would appear in their fifth final in the last seven editions (missing only 2020 and 2021).^[7]

The two teams had met 14 times previously, with Leinster winning 8 and Toulouse winning 6. In knockout games, Leinster had held a 5–1 advantage, with Leinster eliminating Toulouse at the semi-final stage in each of the previous two editions.

Both teams entered the final in similar form, with both teams having won every game in their European campaign. They both topped their respective pool, with Toulouse gaining a maximum of 20 points and Leinster gaining 19. They both received home advantage through the knock-out stage, before gaining home country advantage in the semi-final to see them through to the final.
