The fixture between Australia Women and Ireland Women is not a standalone tournament but a bilateral cricket series organized by Cricket Ireland and Cricket Australia. These matches often operate under the framework of the ICC Women's Championship or the ICC Future Tours Programme. The relationship dates back to 1987, when Ireland Women played their first-ever international ODI against Australia in Belfast. Australia won that opening encounter, and the two sides have met sporadically in ODIs since, with stops in 1998, 2001, and 2005. T20I meetings began in 2015.
A significant series took place in July 2023 at Castle Avenue, Dublin. This three-match ODI contest counted towards the ICC Women's Championship 2022–2025. Australia Women hold a dominant head-to-head record, having won all recorded ODI and T20I encounters against Ireland up to 2023. There is no named trophy associated with these bilateral series.
The 2023 series completed a unique milestone for Ireland Women. They became the first women's cricket team to play bilateral series against all eight ICC Full Member nations. This achievement followed a 36-year gap since their previous bilateral encounter. While Australia dominates the results, the fixture represents a key part of Ireland's development schedule. The matches provide valuable experience against top-tier opposition. The series is held annually or biennially, depending on global scheduling. No permanent structure exists outside of these bilateral agreements. The competition does not award a specific cup or shield. Results are recorded in standard international cricket statistics. The format remains consistent with standard limited-overs cricket.
