West Indies Women in Ireland 2026/27

The West Indies Women in Ireland fixture is a bilateral cricket series rather than a standalone league or tournament. Organized under the ICC Future Tour Programme, these matches often serve as part of the ICC Women's Championship for One Day Internationals. The relationship between Cricket Ireland and Cricket West Indies defines the scope of this competition, which brings together two national teams for a limited number of games.

The history of encounters between these sides dates back to the late 2000s. A T20I match in Dublin in May 2008 marked the first recorded international meeting, with the West Indies securing a victory by 75 runs. This was followed shortly by an ODI series in the same city that June. Since then, the series has fluctuated in frequency. A tour in 2019 saw the West Indies win a three-match T20I series without losing a game. More recently, a tri-series T20I held in Ireland during May and June 2026 included Pakistan alongside the regular participants. In that event, Ireland achieved a milestone by winning their first-ever T20I against the West Indies by one run using the Duckworth-Lewis-Simmons method.

Individual performances have highlighted specific moments in this rivalry. Hayley Matthews holds the highest individual T20I score of 107 not out against Ireland, a record set in 2019. She also holds the highest ODI score of 159 not out against the Irish side in 2026. In bowling, Realeanna Grimmond took figures of nine wickets for one run in an ODI during the same year. As of mid-2026, the West Indies lead the T20I head-to-head 10-0 and the ODI record 8-1, with one match abandoned. Ireland’s sole ODI victory occurred prior to the 2023 series.
