The Ireland cricket team toured Bangladesh in November and December 2025 to play the Bangladesh cricket team.[1][2] The tour consisted of two Test and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[3] In September 2025, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the fixtures for the tour as a part of the 2025–26 home international season.[4]
Originally, the series was scheduled to be played with two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is. Cricket Ireland (CI) requested the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to reduce one Test match from the schedule. But later both the boards agreed with two Test and three T20I matches.[5]
