The Zimbabwe cricket team toured Ireland in June and July 2019 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2] All the matches were played at the Stormont Cricket Ground in Belfast and the Bready Cricket Club Ground in Magheramason.[3][4] Zimbabwe last toured Ireland in 2003.[5]
Cricket Ireland had considered cancelling the tour, following poor ticket sales for international matches earlier in the season, but the International Cricket Council (ICC) provided a US$500,000 bailout.[6] The T20Is were scheduled to take place on the same days and venues as the corresponding women's fixtures.[7][8] However, in June 2019, the women's tour was cancelled 48 hours before it was due to take place, due to a funding issue from Zimbabwe Cricket.[9][10] With the cancellation of the women's matches, Cricket Ireland revised the start time of the first men's T20I fixture.[11]
Ireland won the first two ODIs of the tour, taking an unassailable lead in the series, and their first series win at home against a Full Member side.[12] It was Ireland's first ODI series win at home since beating Scotland in September 2014.[13] Ireland won the third match by six wickets to win the series 3–0,[14] their first clean-sweep in ODIs against a Full Member team.[15] The T20I series was tied 1–1, after the first match was washed out.[16]
