The Sri Lanka women's cricket team toured Ireland in August 2024 to play the Ireland women's cricket team. The tour consists of two Twenty20 International (T20I) and three One Day International (ODI) matches. The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship. This was Sri Lanka's first bilateral tour of Ireland. In April 2024, the Cricket Ireland (CI) announced the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2024 home international season.
The tourists won the first T20I comfortably by 7 wickets, with Harshitha Samarawickrama scoring an unbeaten 86. However, Ireland won the second match by 7 runs, their first victory over Sri Lanka, with Gaby Lewis scoring a magnificent century of 119, to ensure that the series finished level.
Vishmi Gunaratne's maiden century went in vain as the hosts won the first ODI by three wickets, their first victory over Sri Lanka, with Orla Prendergast scoring an unbeaten 122. Despite a maiden century by Harshitha Samarawickrama, Ireland won the second ODI by 15 runs, with Leah Paul playing a magnificent innings of 81 and secured their first series victory over Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the third and last ODI by eight wickets to prevent a whitewash, with the help of an all-round performance from Chamari Athapaththu.
