The Ireland cricket team toured England in July 2019 to play a one-off four-day Test match at Lord's.[1][2] It was the first Test match to be played between the two sides,[3] and was England's first four-day Test match since they toured New Zealand in 1970–71.[4] It was Ireland's third Test match,[5][6] and their twelfth international fixture against England.[7]

The Test match was part of England's preparations for the 2019 Ashes series.[8] Ahead of the Test, the England cricket team visited Ireland in May to play a one-off One Day International (ODI) match.[9] Ireland also played a two-day warm-up match against a Middlesex 2nd XI side at the Merchant Taylors' School Ground in Northwood.[10]

England won the one-off Test match by 143 runs, with Ireland being bowled out for 38 runs in their second innings.[11]
