The Ireland men's cricket team toured Bangladesh in March and April 2023 to play one Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.
This was the first-ever Test Match played between the two sides, and the first multi-format series the two sides played at senior level. The Test match was the fourth men's Test in Ireland's history, and their first since July 2019.
The fixtures were confirmed by Cricket Ireland (CI) in January 2023. Ahead of the ODI series, Ireland played a 50-over warm up match against a Bangladesh Cricket Board XI (BCB XI) side.
Bangladesh won the ODI series 2–0, with the second ODI finishing in a no result due to rain, after the Bangladesh's innings.
Bangladesh won the rain-affected first T20I by 22 runs. They also went on to win the second match by 77 runs and take an unassailable lead in the series. Ireland won the third T20I by 7 wickets, with Bangladesh winning the T20I series 2–1.
Bangladesh won the one-off Test by 7 wickets. This was Bangladesh's first Test win on home soil after three years.
