The Sri Lanka women's cricket team toured Ireland in August 2024 to play the Ireland women's cricket team.[1][2] The tour consists of two Twenty20 International (T20I) and three One Day International (ODI) matches.[3] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[4] This is Sri Lanka's first bilateral tour of Ireland.[5] In April 2024, the Cricket Ireland (CI) announced the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2024 home international season.[6]
The tourists comfortably won the first T20I by 7 wickets,[7] with Harshitha Samarawickrama scoring an unbeaten 86.[8] However, Ireland won the second match by 7 runs, their first victory over Sri Lanka,[9] to ensure that the series finished level.[10] The hosts won the first ODI by three wickets.[11] Ireland won the second ODI by 15 runs and secured their first series victory over Sri Lanka.[12][13] Sri Lanka won the third and last ODI by eight wickets to prevent whitewash.[14]
