Cricket Ireland, officially the Irish Cricket Union, is the governing body for cricket in Ireland (both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), and oversees the Ireland cricket team and Ireland women's cricket team. The Union also organises the premier club cricket competition in Ireland, the Irish Senior Cup.
An Irish Cricket Union was formed in 1890, though its only function was to select the Irish international team. The Irish Cricket Union was officially founded in 1923, and is made up of five provincial unions, namely the Leinster Cricket Union, the Munster Cricket Union, the Northern Cricket Union, the Connacht Cricket Union and the North West Cricket Union. Its powers initially were strictly limited and it was reconstituted in 1933.
Ireland was accepted as an associate member of the International Cricket Council on 6 July 1993.
In common with a number of other Ireland sporting governing bodies, the Union represents all of Ireland, rather than just the Republic of Ireland. In common with its counterparts for rugby union and field hockey, the Union therefore does not use the Irish tricolor, but instead employs its own flag.
Ireland is one of the teams in Division 1 of Associate Members of International Cricket Council who has One Day International and T20 International status.
