Ireland women's cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2021–22

The Ireland women's cricket team played four Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) against the Zimbabwe women's cricket team in October 2021. The matches were used by both teams for their preparation for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament, also held in Zimbabwe in November and December 2021. They were the first WODI matches to be played by Ireland since June 2018, when they hosted New Zealand, and the first ever WODI matches to be played by Zimbabwe since they were granted WODI status by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in April 2021.

Zimbabwe won the opening match of the series by four wickets, with their captain Mary-Anne Musonda scoring an unbeaten century. Ireland won the second match by 80 runs to level the series. Ireland won the third WODI by eight wickets to go 2–1 in the series with one match to play. Ireland then won the final match by 85 runs to win the series 3–1. In the final match, Ireland's Amy Hunter became the youngest player, male or female, to score an ODI century.
