Ireland to host England for three ODIs in September 2025

DUBLIN – Cricket Ireland today confirmed that it will host England Men for three one-day internationals from 17-21 September 2025 - this will be the first time since 2019 that England’s senior men’s side will play in Ireland. 

Ireland Men and England Men have met on 15 previous occasions in ODI cricket with Ireland winning twice, England 11 times, and two ‘no results’. 

While the venue is yet to be confirmed, the dates of the fixtures are: 

• 17 September 2025: Ireland Men v England Men (1^st ODI)
• 19 September 2025: Ireland Men v England Men (2^nd ODI)
• 21 September 2025: Ireland Men v England Men (3^rd ODI)

Warren Deutrom, CEO of Cricket Ireland, said: 

“We are delighted to confirm this series – it will in fact be the first-ever three-match one-day series between the two sides played in Ireland, and the first fixture between the two teams in Ireland since May 2019.

“While we will announce our full summer 2025 programme in due course, we have agreed to release these dates earlier than the rest as the interest levels in this series are already high and we wanted to lock in dates with the ECB in their busy 2025 schedule. Tickets will go on sale in early 2025 and we anticipate a great number of travelling fans to come – so when they go live, we’d recommend buying early to avoid disappointment.

“These aren’t the only fixtures between Ireland and England coming up, of course, with England Women touring here next month for three ODIs and two T20Is. It is great for Irish fans to see England’s men’s and women’s senior teams playing more regularly on these shores – it is yet another sign of the increasing stature of Ireland in the global game.”

It will be after six years that the England men's team will play in Ireland in 2025.
