It was in 1855 that an Irish team played in a cricket match, even though the sport had been popular in Ireland since the early 19th century. Ireland was the inaugural Associate member of the International Cricket Council in 1993. Since then, there have been massive changes to how cricket is played in Ireland. While this may be the case, Ireland’s national side is nevertheless a Full Member of the International Cricket Council and plays in all three formats. In all four World Twenty20 tournaments, Ireland has qualified to play. Ireland has trained for not only the ICC World Cup but also for every World Twenty20 tournament. The team’s success at the World Cups ensured their continued eligibility, and they are now in a prime position to advance to the Test level. After reaching the Super 8s at the 2009 T20 World Cup in England, this is only the second time Ireland has moved to the next round of competition.
Here is the list Ireland cricket team of T20 World Cup Records:

As a result of the Irish cricket team’s steady performance in the shortest format, they have been invited to participate in the World Twenty20 in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2021. Ireland secured their spot in the Twenty20 World Cup for 2022 with a victory over Oman on February 22, 2022. Depending on how other teams perform, Ireland could be one of the smaller ones at the World Cup. But he has a history of shocking the world’s best teams, winning major tournaments like the World Cup. The squad would be wise to undervalue him in light of the current situation. Ireland’s most significant win came in their 2019 ICC World Twenty20 qualifying match against Nigeria. They lost the championship game but still qualified for the ICC world cup.
