The Ireland women's national basketball team represents Ireland in international women's basketball. The team is organised by Basketball Ireland, and play their home games at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght. As of 2024, the team was ranked 80th in the FIBA Women's World Ranking.

History

A team representing Ireland participated in the 1980 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Women, but did not qualify. As of 1989, the Ireland women's team was contesting the European Promotion Cup for Women, and placed second in the competition.

In February 2010, during the Irish financial crisis, Basketball Ireland announced that it was €1.2m in debt and would deactivate its senior international squads to cut costs. A team representing Ireland was reformed in 2013, when a "Premier League All Stars" team played Wales in a match to mark The Gathering Ireland 2013 festival. Ireland also competed in 3x3 basketball at the 2014 Europe Championships and the 2015 European Games.

In late 2015, it was announced that the national team would again join official FIBA Europe competitions after accepting an invitation to play the 2016 FIBA Women's European Championship for Small Countries. The Irish team came second in the 2016 event, after losing to Malta in the final. An Irish team also entered the 2018 event (which took place in Cork) and placed sixth.

Before a FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2025 qualifier, held in February 2024, in response to "inflammatory and wholly inaccurate accusations of anti-Semitism [..] published on official Israeli [Basketball] federation channels", members of the team "boycotted the usual pre-match pleasantries" and did not shake hands with the Israeli team. A number of Irish team members also opted not to travel to the game, which had been postponed from November 2023 and moved to Riga in Latvia due to the Israel–Hamas war. Ireland lost the game by 30 points.

The Ireland Women's basketball team is a talented and competitive group of athletes who represent their country with pride and passion on the international stage. Known for their strong teamwork, skillful ball-handling, and tenacious defense, the team has earned a reputation for being a formidable opponent in any competition.

Comprised of dedicated and hardworking players, the Ireland Women's team is led by experienced coaches who instill a winning mentality and a commitment to excellence in every player. With a focus on developing young talent and fostering a supportive team culture, the team continues to grow and improve with each passing season.

Whether competing in European championships, World Cup qualifiers, or other prestigious tournaments, the Ireland Women's basketball team always gives their all on the court, showcasing their determination and resilience in the face of tough competition. With a loyal fan base cheering them on, the team is a source of national pride and inspiration for aspiring basketball players across Ireland.
