2024 New Zealand Rally Championship
The 2024 New Zealand Rally Championship is the 47th running of the Championship, running equal amounts of events from the North Island to the South Island. Hayden Paddon is the defending Driver's Champion, but will not run the season opening Otago Rally due to Round One of the European Rally Championship clashing with Otago. Defending Co-Drivers champion John Kennard will step back from the NZ Rally Championship and will not defend his title in 2024. Kennard will continue to run alongside Paddon in the ERC, but young Co-Driver Jared Hudson will replace him in the 2024 season.
Hayden Paddon is the defending driver's champion.
John Kennard won the co-driver's championship in 2023 but will not return to defend his title.
