Ōta Sukekatsu was the eldest son of Ōta Sukemoto, the 5th daimyō of Kakegawa Domain. He became head of the Ōta clan and daimyō of Kakegawa on Sukemoto’s retirement on June 10, 1841. He was appointed to the offices of Sōshaban and Jisha-bugyō, but pleading ill health, resigned from his posts in 1856. He predeceased his father, dying in 1862 at the age of 34.

Ōta Sukekatsu was married to a daughter of Aoyama Tadanaga, daimyō of Sasayama Domain and is known to have had at least one daughter. However, on his death, the position of daimyō of Kakegawa went to his younger brother, Ōta Sukeyoshi.
