The 2024 Netherlands Tri-Nation Series was a cricket tournament that took place in the Netherlands in May 2024.[1] It was a tri-nation series involving Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland men's cricket teams, with the matches played as Twenty20 International (T20I) fixtures.[2] The series used by the teams as preparation ahead of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[3] In March 2024, the Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) confirmed the fixtures for the tournament, with all the matches to be played at VRA Cricket Ground.[4] However, on 1 May 2024, the KNCB announced that due to unspecified circumstances the series would be played at Sportpark Westvliet.[5]
