The 2023–24 World Athletics Cross Country Tour, also known as the 2024 Cross Country Tour, is the 3rd season of the annual series of cross country running meetings organised by World Athletics. The Tour forms the highest level of international cross country.

The Cross Country Tour is divided into three levels – Gold, Silver, and Bronze – each of which has different levels of competition and different prize offerings.

The Gold-level meetings award extra World Athletics Rankings cross country placement points, which can be used to earn automatic qualification into the 10,000 metres track race at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1]
