Test cricket is the oldest form of cricket played at international level.[1] A Test match is scheduled to take place over a period of five days,[a][b] and is played by teams representing full member nations of the International Cricket Council (ICC).[5][6]

Ireland played their first test match in 2018, becoming the 11th test nation. Since then, they have played 5 test matches, but have lost all of them. [7]

This is a list of Ireland Test cricket records. It is based on the List of Test cricket records, but concentrates solely on records dealing with Ireland Test cricket team, and any cricketers who have played for that team.

Key

Explanations of the general symbols and cricketing terms used in the list are given below. Specific details are provided in each category where appropriate. All records include matches played for Ireland only, and are correct as of June 2020.
