Cricket fans are about to be treated to a very exiting series as the West Indies head off on their 2025 trip to Ireland for a series of ODIs and T20Is. The tour kicked off in May with a three-match ODI series, before coming to a close with a series of T20Is in June. This is likely to be high-flying and entertaining competitive cricket. Here's everything you need to know in terms of the fixtures, results and how to watch it.
The tour began on May 21 with Ireland securing a historic ODI win, by 124 runs, over the West Indies. The West Indies were chasing 304 and were bowled out for 179, with Ireland's Barry McCarthy (4 wickets) leading the charge. The second ODI was abandoned on May 25 due to weather, but in the finale, the West Indies bounced back in style with a total of 385/7, led by 170 off 128 from Keacy Carty. The West Indies bowled Ireland out for 165 via the DLS method, resulting in a massive 197 run win. Carty was the standout ODI series batter (278 runs) and McCarthy was the standout for Ireland (9 wickets).
Attention has now turned to the three T20I matches, where both teams will use to prepare for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Each match will begin at 7:30 PM Local time (Irish Standard Time):
