The Sri Lanka women's cricket team toured Ireland in August 2024 to play the Ireland women's cricket team.[2] [3] The tour consists of two Twenty20 International (T20I) and three One Day International (ODI) matches.[4] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship.[5] This is Sri Lanka's first bilateral tour of Ireland.[6] In April 2024, the Cricket Ireland (CI) announced the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2024 home international season.[7]

The tourists comfortably won the first T20I by 7 wickets,[8] with Harshitha Samarawickrama scoring an unbeaten 86.[9] However, Ireland won the second match by 7 runs, their first victory over Sri Lanka,[10] to ensure that the series finished level.[11] The hosts won the first ODI by three wickets.[12] Ireland won the second ODI by 15 runs and secured their first series victory over Sri Lanka.[13] [14] Sri Lanka won the third and last ODI by eight wickets to prevent whitewash.[15]
