Sealand Super Cup 2024 was the third edition of the Sealand Super Cup, a friendly competition in the Sealand federation for teams that had won the Sealand Cup in the previous year. The tournament was held in (Dutch) seasons 75 and 77 with the final being played at La Via Nostra. Royal Sun And Evil FC defeated FC Atse after they had already eliminated Ad Maiorem Mei Gloriam in the semi-finals.
Qualified teams
The winners of Sealand Cup LIV, LV and LVI (played in season 72, 73 and 74) qualified for the third Sealand Super Cup. Because those three editions each had a different winner, the best runner-up qualified to make up the field.
