The South Africa women's cricket team toured Ireland to play against the Ireland women's cricket team in June 2022. The tour consisted of three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and three Women's One Day International (WODI) matches. The WODI matches were the part of 2022âÂÂ2025 ICC Women's Championship. In May 2022, Cricket South Africa named their squad for the tour, with Suné Luus leading the side in Dane van Niekerk's absence. Likewise, Cricket Ireland named their squad, with Gaby Lewis captaining the side, with Laura Delany out due to an injury. Lewis also became the youngest player to captain the Ireland Women's team in international cricket.
