The Ireland cricket team toured the Netherlands in June 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI).[1][2] The ODI matches formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4] The teams last played an ODI against each other in July 2013, during the 2011–2013 ICC World Cricket League Championship, with the match ending in a tie.[5]
Cricket Ireland confirmed the fixtures in February 2021,[6][7] and the matches were played at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht.[8] The matches were shown on Ziggo in the Netherlands, the first time a Dutch international cricket series was broadcast live in the country.[9]
The Netherlands won the first ODI by one run with the match going down to the final ball.[10] Ireland then won the next match by eight wickets to level the series.[11] The Netherlands won the third and final ODI by four wickets to win the series 2–1.[12]
