The 2024 Euro Super Series is a curling event among various countries of Europe. It was held from 21 to 25 August at the National Curling Academy in Stirling, Scotland.[1] The total purse for the event was £ 20,000 on both the men's and women's sides.[2] [3]

In the men's event, a repeat of the 2023 final saw Bruce Mouat defeat Ross Whyte in a close 4–3 game. Mouat and his rink of Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan Jr. continued their undefeated run to begin the season, having also won the 2024 Baden Masters the week prior.[4] After a 4–0 record in the round robin, Team Mouat defeated the United States' Korey Dropkin 5–3 in the quarterfinals and Switzerland's Michael Brunner 7–5 in the semifinals. Team Whyte also went undefeated in the preliminary round before playoff victories over the Netherlands' Wouter Gösgens and Scotland's Kyle Waddell in the quarter and semifinals respectively. The playoff field was rounded out by Scotland's James Craik and Daniel Casper's U.S. squad.

In the women's event, the reigning Scottish women's champion skip Fay Henderson came out on top with her new squad of Robyn Munro, Hailey Duff, Katie McMillan and Lisa Davie. In the final, her team bested Italy's Stefania Constantini 7–4 to claim the title.[4] After a 2–2 round robin record, Team Henderson scored consecutive playoff victories over the higher ranked United States' Delaney Strouse and Canada's Kayla MacMillan rinks to reach the final. Constantini, who also finished runner-up in 2023, went 3–1 in the group stage before defeating the United States' Elizabeth Cousins 5–2 in the quarterfinals and Scotland's Rebecca Morrison 6–5 in the semifinals.
