As the sun sets on Dublin this Sunday, May 10, 2026, Ireland’s top women’s cricketers ignite the Super Series, the pinnacle of domestic T20 action in the Emerald Isle. Now in its 12th thrilling year since 2015, this six-match slugfest pits defending champions Dragons against a resurgent Typhoons from May 10 to 25, all in the shadow of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 exploding onto the global stage.
Hosted by England and Wales from June 12 to July 5, the expanded 10th edition swells to 12 teams, thrusting Gaby Lewis’s Ireland into Group 2 alongside powerhouses like England, New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka, and Scotland. Their campaign kicks off against Scotland on June 13 at 3 PM IST in Manchester’s Old Trafford, the tournament’s second blockbuster.
With Gaby Lewis sidelined by injury, Rebecca Stokell captains Typhoons, channelling that international firepower into domestic dominance. Dragons, unbeaten sweepers of 2025’s six-match three-team triumph, boast Amy Hunter’s bat-blitz (447 runs at 111.75 average, 151.01 strike rate, five fifties) and Alana Dalzell’s 10-wicket haul (15.50 average). Typhoons, stung by last year’s 1-5 ledger, rally behind Laura Delany’s grit (313 runs at 104.33 average). This series isn’t just rivalry; it’s the proving ground sharpening Ireland’s World Cup edge.
The Dolphins have won as many as 6 titles in the history of the competition, while the Typhoons have a long way to catch up with just 2 titles in the cabinet.
