The 2024–25 Irani Cup was the 61st edition of the Irani Cup, a first-class cricket tournament in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It was played as a one-off match between Mumbai, the winners of the 2023–24 Ranji Trophy, and a Rest of India cricket team.[1]

It took place from 1 to 5 October 2024 in Lucknow.[2] The tournament was part of the 2024 Indian domestic cricket season, announced by the BCCI in June 2024.[3]

Rest of India were the defending champions.[4]

The one-off match was originally scheduled to be held in Mumbai, but it was moved to Lucknow to guard against weather interruptions, with Mumbai going through an extended monsoon.[5]
