The 2024–25 season will see Glasgow Warriors compete in the United Rugby Championship as reigning champions, and also in the European Champions Cup. In addition to the two main competitions, Glasgow also compete for the URC Scottish-x-Italian Shield and the 1872 Cup, where again, they are the reigning champion in both competitions from the previous season.
Glasgow began the defence of their United Rugby Championship title with a narrow 19-20 defeat against Irish rivals Ulster,[1] but recovered to post three heavy victories in matches against Benetton, Cardiff and Zebre Parma.[2] A tour of South Africa reaped seven points, with a high scoring, narrow loss in Durban to the Sharks was off-set by a comfortable win against the Stormers.
Glasgow won the 2024-25 edition of the 1872 Cup with an aggregate 40–24 victory over two legs against Edinburgh Rugby in front of a record combined attendance of 67,621 fans, over the Christmas and New Year fixture list after both teams won their home leg in the 'national stadium' of their city - Murrayfield for Edinburgh and Hampden Park for Glasgow. The victory was Glasgow's eleventh title.
In the European competition, Glasgow emerged from their group in second place, winning the seventh seeding and a home tie in the Round of 16 against Leicester Tigers from England's Gallagher Premiership.
The Academy announcement saw Richie Simpson and Duncan Munn integrated into this season's academy structure. Harris McLeod, Ruaraidh Hart and Logan Jarvie dropped out of the academy.[3]
