The Pakistan men's cricket team toured Ireland in May 2024 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches against Ireland.[1][2] The series formed part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[3] It was the first bilateral T20I series between the two teams.[4] In July 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the bilateral series as a part of Pakistan's revised 2023–2025 Future Tours Programme.[5] In March 2024, the Cricket Ireland confirmed the schedule for the tour.[6] Pakistan had last toured Ireland in 2018.[7]

Ireland won the opening match by 5 wickets.[8] Pakistan levelled the series by winning the second match by 7 wickets.[9] The tourists went on to win the third match by 6 wickets,[10] and took the series 2–1.[11]
