Amy Hunter (born 11 October 2005) is an Irish cricketer who plays for the Ireland women's cricket team.[1][2][3][4] She plays as wicket-keeper batter for Ireland and Dragons. In October 2021, during the final match of Ireland's tour of Zimbabwe, Hunter became the youngest cricketer, male or female, to score a century in an ODI match,[5] doing so on her 16th birthday.[6][7] As a result, Hunter was named as the Irish Times/Sport Ireland Sportswoman for October 2021.[8]
In January 2024, Hunter scored her first T20I century in the opening match of a series against Zimbabwe.[9] This meant that she became the first Irish woman, and the third Irish cricketer overall, to score a century in both T20I and ODI cricket.[10][11]
