The 2024 Six Nations Under 20s Championship was the 17th Six Nations Under 20s Championship, the annual northern hemisphere rugby union championship for players under 20 years of age. Ireland were the reigning champions, having won the title in both 2022 and 2023. They managed four wins and a draw to match England's record for the championship, but England secured more bonus points to claim their 10th title, their first since 2021.

Table ranking rules:

* Four match points are awarded for a win.
* Two match points are awarded for a draw.
* A bonus match point is awarded to a team that scores four or more tries in a match or loses a match by seven points or fewer. If a team scores four tries in a match and loses by seven points or fewer, they are awarded both bonus points.
* Three bonus match points are awarded to a team that wins all five of their matches (known as a Grand Slam). This ensures that a Grand Slam winning team reaches a minimum of 23 points, and thus always ranks over a team who won four matches in which they also were awarded four try bonus points and were also awarded two bonus points (a try bonus and a losing bonus) in the match that they lost for a total of 22 points.
* Tie-breakers
* If two or more teams are tied on match points, the team with the better points difference (points scored less points conceded) is ranked higher.
* If the above tie-breaker fails to separate tied teams, the team that scored the higher number of total tries in their matches is ranked higher.
* If two or more teams remain tied for first place at the end of the championship after applying the above tiebreakers, the title is shared between them.
