The Australia national cricket team toured Great Britain to play a series of cricket matches during the 2009 English cricket season. The team played five Test matches – one in Wales – seven One Day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals against England. The Australians also played four other first-class matches in England, against the England Lions and two county sides. Australia also took part in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 but they were eliminated in the first round after defeats to the West Indies and Sri Lanka.

The series of five Test matches between England and Australia was for The Ashes and, for the first time, a Test match was held in the capital of Wales, Cardiff.^[1] Australia was the holder of The Ashes trophy, having won the 2006–07 series 5–0. England won the last series to be held in England in 2005 and won the 2009 Ashes 2–1. The Twenty20 International series was drawn 0–0 as bad weather meant that neither match produced a result.
