Tiernan Lynch’s side were mightily impressive last season, winning the Gibson Cup while conceding only 21 goals, and will be one of 14 unseeded teams in the first round of action with the draw set to take place on June 18.
The good news for Larne fans is that Inver Park will be able to host the home leg this time around, unlike in 2023 when they played at Solitude against Finnish side HJK.
Here are all 14 stadiums that fans of the club could potentially be set to visit in July – the first leg is scheduled for July 9/10 and second leg July 16/17 – as they look to take a step closer to the European group stages.
Note: These are the venues listed for each team. It may be changed in certain cases if there are capacity or licence issues.
