New Zealand tour of Ireland 2026

New Zealand tour Ireland for a historic one-off Test at Stormont Cricket Ground in Belfast from May 27-30, 2026. This four-day match marks New Zealand's first Test on Irish soil and serves as preparation for their subsequent three-Test series in England.

The fixture is not part of the World Test Championship cycle, allowing both teams to experiment with squad selections. Ireland will aim to challenge a strong New Zealand side featuring returning stars Kane Williamson and Kyle Jamieson.
