The team played their first official matches at the 2023 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, the first ever international women's under-19 cricket competition, in which they reached the Super Six round.[1][2]
History
The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The tournament eventually took place in January 2023, in South Africa.[4] As a Full Member of the ICC, Ireland qualified automatically for the tournament.[5]
Ireland announced their 15-player squad for the tournament on 1 December 2022. Glenn Querl, Head Coach of Scorchers, was chosen as Head Coach of the side for the tournament.[6] At the tournament, Ireland qualified for the Super Six from the initial group stage, beating Indonesia, but lost all their matches in their Super Six group.[2]
Squad
For their tour to South Africa for a five-match T20 series in October 2024, a 14 player squad was named, to be captained by Amy Hunter.[7]
