Eight teams took part in the 2024 championship. The championship was contested by Belgium, Georgia, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, and Spain.

Georgia entered the tournament as defending champions. They won the final against Portugal in the 2023 tournament, claiming their 15th title. The serpentine system was applied to allocate each team to their respective groups.[1] Each team played a total of five games (three round robin group matches to determine the team's path and two play-off matches).[1] Seeding (for a group) and relegation are calculated over a two-year cycle, as is the promotion from the Trophy competition.[1]
