Cricket Ireland has selected a fourteen-player touring party for an upcoming trip to Namibia in October 2026, serving as preparation for the upcoming ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup. Led by captain Alice Tector and overseen by head coach Nigel Jones, the squad will depart Dublin on October 21 to contest six T20 matches against the Capricorn Eagles, with four fixtures confirmed at the Namibia Cricket Ground.

The roster blends players with prior global tournament experience alongside emerging talents and six individuals eligible for subsequent cycles, supplemented by two observed Irish passport holders. This upcoming series in January 2027 will be co-hosted by Bangladesh and Nepal, featuring sixteen participating nations in total to evaluate squad depth and combinations.
