The 2024 IFGF World Bowl was the eleventh edition of the IFGF World Bowl, the world championship for national gridiron football teams. It took place in the United States and Canada from 15 May until 16 June 2024, after the countries were selected to host in March 2014. The final was held in NRG Stadium in Houston, with the opening ceremony held in Toronto and declared open by US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
32 teams were fielded from six federations for this World Bowl, which was first to be held by more than one nation. Of the 32 teams, 30 were selected via qualifying competitions, while the host nations of the United States and Canada qualified automatically. Namibia, Russia, Jamaica and South Sudan each made their debuts in this edition, with South Sudan being the only debutant making it past the group stages and into the round of 16. The competition was held over 32 days with 64 matches played in 10 venues across 10 cities, with the United States and Canada each hosting 5 cities and venues.
The United States won the World Bowl after defeating Japan 63–58 in extra time. This was their sixth title overall and third consecutive title.
