The Ireland women's cricket team represents Ireland in international women's cricket. Cricket in Ireland is organised on an All-Ireland basis, meaning the Irish women's team represents both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.[1] They are full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), being governed by the Cricket Ireland.[2]

The Irish women's team entered the international arena well before their male counterparts, playing their first-ever Women's One Day International (WODI) match on 28 June 1987, against Australia in a bilateral series.[3] They participated in Women's Cricket World Cup for the first time in the 1988 edition.[4][5] Ireland got their first WODI win on 30 November 1988, beating the Netherlands by 86 runs.[6] As of April 2023, they have played 170 WODIs against fourteen different opponents, resulting 47 victories and 116 defeats for an overall winning percentage of 28.83.[7] They have the fifth most defeats for any team in this format.[8] They have played the most number of matches (25) against the Netherlands.[9] They also have been most successful against the same team, winning 23 WODI matches against them.[10] They have also recorded the highest number of wins (4) against the Netherlands in Women's Cricket World Cup.[11] Ireland have lost 18 out of their 20 WODI matches against South Africa, the highest number of defeats for Ireland against any team in the format.[12]

Ireland made their debut in Women's Test cricket on 30 July 2001 against Pakistan, winning the match by an innings and 54 runs.[13] Although in April 2021, the ICC awarded permanent Test status to all full member women's teams,[14] it was the only Women's Test match played by Ireland.[15]

Ireland competed in the shorter version of international cricket for the first time in 2008, when they played against the West Indies in a one-off WT20I at home.[16] They have played a total of 102 WT20I matches, recording 36 wins and 65 defeats for an overall winning percentage of 35.64.[17] They have been the second most unsuccessful team in the format, both in terms of matches won as well as winning percentage, among the full member teams.[18] Ireland have met with Pakistan for the most number of occasions, playing 19 times against them.[19] They have recorded the highest number of wins (10) against the Netherlands in the format.[20] Among the full member countries, they have defeated Pakistan for the most number of times (4).[21] Pakistan is also the team against whom Ireland have suffered the most number of defeats, losing 15 times against them.[22] Ireland have taken part in four editions of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, losing all of their 17 matches they played against nine different opponents, to become the most unsuccessful team in the championship.[23]
