The Ireland women's under-19 cricket team represents Ireland in international under-19 women's cricket. The team is administrated by Cricket Ireland.

The team played their first official matches at the 2023 ICC 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 was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. As a Full Member of the ICC, Ireland qualified automatically for the tournament.[4]

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.[5] 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]
