The Pakistan women's cricket team toured Ireland in August 2025 to play the Ireland women's cricket team.[1][2] The tour consisted of three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[3][4] In March 2025, the Cricket Ireland (CI) confirmed the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2025 home international season.[5]
Ireland won the first T20I by 11 runs, despite of Fatima Sana taking four wickets.[6][7] Orla Prendergast and Laura Delany's 76 run partnership and Rebecca Stokell's quick 34 run, the hosts won the second T20I by four wickets in thriller and secured the series win.[8][9] An unbeaten century by Muneeba Ali helped Pakistan to win the third T20I by eight wickets.[10] Ireland won the series 2–1.[11][12]
