5:T545,Get detailed information about Ireland, including players, statistics, and performance records. The Ireland national cricket team represents the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and has rapidly grown into a competitive force in international cricket. Managed by Cricket Ireland, the team made its mark as a fearless underdog with impressive performances in major tournaments, especially after their famous upset over Pakistan in the 2007 ICC World Cup and a stunning win against England in 2011.

Granted Full Member status by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2017, Ireland earned the right to play Test cricket and played its inaugural Test match against Pakistan in 2018. The team has continued to improve across formats, thanks to a strong domestic structure and a growing pool of talent.

Notable players such as Kevin O'Brien, known for the fastest World Cup century (2011), William Porterfield, Paul Stirling, and Andy Balbirnie have been central to Ireland's rise. Their ability to punch above their weight and compete with top tier teams has made them a respected name in world cricket.

Ireland’s style is marked by resilience, disciplined bowling, and aggressive batting. As the sport continues to develop across the island, Ireland is poised to become a consistent performer in international cricket for years to come.4:[["$","meta","0",{"charSet":"utf-8"}],["$","title","1",{"children":"Ireland - MatchToday"}],["$","meta","2",{"name":"description","content":"$5"}],["$","meta","3",{"name":"keywords","content":"Ireland,IRE,cricket team,team players,team statistics,Paul Stirling,Malahide Cricket Club Ground"}],["$","meta","4",{"name":"viewport","content":"width=device-width, initial-scale=1"}],["$","link","5",{"rel":"canonical","href":"https://matchtoday.org/teams/ireland"}],["$","link","6",{"rel":"icon","href":"/favicon.png"}],["$","meta","7",{"name":"next-size-adjust"}]]
