The Ireland cricket team toured England in July and August 2020 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] Originally due to take place in September 2020, the schedule for the series was rearranged due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] All of the fixtures were played behind closed doors, at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, due to the pandemic.[5][6] The teams last faced each other in a one-off ODI in Dublin in May 2019, with England winning by four wickets.[7]

The ODI matches formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League,[8][9] and they were the first matches of the league.[10][11] Following a trial that started in December 2019,[12] the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches in the Super League.[13] The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls, communicating this with the on-field umpires.[14]

England won the first two ODI matches to take an unassailable series lead.[15] England won the series 2–1, after Ireland won the third and final match of the series.[16] It was Ireland's first win in an ODI against England in England.[17]
