Ireland to face world champions Australia in Clontarf

Recently crowned Women's T20 world champions Australia will visit Clontarf for a three-match ODI series against Ireland in July.

It will be preceded by a six-match Irish tour to the Caribbean for a series against the West Indies, and followed by a three-match tour to the Netherlands.

The home series against Australia will be the second time in consecutive seasons that the world champions will play in Ireland - they participated in a T20I triangular series in Bready, Co Tyrone last July with Ireland and Pakistan.

Australia last played in Dublin in August 2015 when they arrived for a three-match T20I series at Clontarf. The matches are part of the ICC Women’s Championship.

Earlier in the summer, Ireland Women will face West Indies for a three-match one-day international series, followed by a three-match T20 international series. The ODIs are also part of the ICC Women’s Championship. The tour will be from 26 June to 9 July.

Ireland will travel to the Netherlands in mid-August.
