The Ireland A cricket team is a national cricket team representing Ireland. It is the 'second-tier' of international Irish cricket, below the full Ireland national cricket team. Matches played by Ireland A are not considered to be One Day Internationals, instead receiving first-class and List A classification.[1][2][3][4]

Their first match was against the Bangladesh A cricket team in October 2017 when they toured Bangladesh to play one first-class match at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium,Sylhet, and five List A matches at Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium Academy Ground, Cox's Bazar.[5] Bangladesh A won the first-class match and four of the List A matches, and the other was washed out.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
