England will host Ireland Women in a three-match ODI series next year in September. The first match will be played on September 1 in Leicester. And the second and third ODIs will be held in Derby and Worcester on September 3 and 6, respectively. 

Both sides last met in the format in a three-match series in Belfast last year, which England won 2-1 after Ireland emerged victorious in the last game, claiming a nail-biting three-wicket win (DLS).

“It is good to be able to announce these International Women’s Championship ODI fixture dates so early as it helps the team plan the rest of their summer in 2026. These are significantly important matches as they are part of the 2029 ODI World Cup qualification structure. We are also pleased to be based in the Midlands and happy that all venues are so close to each other,” Director of Cricket at Cricket Ireland, Richard Holdsworth said.
