The 2024 ACF Nationals was hosted on April 20–21, 2024, by ACF at Duke University, with assistance from the University of North Carolina.

It was head-edited by Nick Jensen, with subject editing by Jordan Brownstein, Jason Golfinos, Aseem Keyal, Eddie Kim, Joseph Krol, Stephen Liu, Grant Peet, Eleanor Settle, and Kevin Wang.

Chicago A (Adam S. Fine, Matt Jackson, Claire Jones, Ned Tagtmeier) went undefeated and cleared the field. In doing so, they became the most recent team to go double undefeated at a single year's national championships.

Cornell defeated Waterloo to take the undergraduate title; the latter team, which tied with Cornell and Stanford for an overall 4th-place finish, secured the highest-ever finish for a Canadian or non-U.S. team at ACF Nationals.

The Division II title was not awarded as no eligible teams entered the tournament.

Trivia

  • Adam S. Fine completed his career Triple Crown with this tournament, becoming the first player who did so by winning ACF Nationals as the last leg of the three.
  • North Carolina's 3rd-place finish, secured in a 25-point victory over WUSTL that also secured Chicago A's clearing of the field, was its first-ever top 4 finish at ACF Nationals.
  • Because 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place were fully determined at the end of playoffs without need for further play, the one-game UG final between Cornell and Waterloo was played on-stage before the awards ceremony. The game's final tossup, on the musical The Fantasticks, ended with the apt words "'Try to Remember'" (the name of the show's best-known song). Humorously, neither team could do so, and the tossup went dead [2].
