The Ireland national cricket team has made impressive strides in international cricket, evolving from an associate member to a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2017, which granted them Test status. Known for their spirited performances, Ireland gained global recognition after their upsets in the ICC Cricket World Cups, most notably defeating Pakistan in 2007 and England in 2011.
These performances marked Ireland as a rising cricketing nation, capable of competing with top teams. Their entry into Test cricket added a new dimension to the team, although they continue to focus strongly on One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 (T20) formats where they have had more success.
