The New Zealand women's cricket team played the Ireland women's cricket team in June 2018. The tour consisted of one Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) matches. New Zealand won the one-off WT20I match by ten wickets. In the first WODI match of the series, New Zealand set a new record for the highest innings total, scoring 490/4 in their 50 overs. At the time it was the highest score in either a men's or women's ODI match. This broke the previous record, also held by New Zealand, of 455/5 against Pakistan in 1997.
