Laois were beaten in the quarter-finals of this year's competition by eventual Leinster champions Louth by five points in Cedral St Conleth's Park in April.

In 2024, Offaly and Laois played in a Leinster quarter-final in Portlaoise, where Offaly defeated Justin McNulty's side. It was Offaly's first win over Laois in the championship since 2002.
