The West Indies were the first team to qualify for the final, after they beat hosts Ireland in the fourth match of the series.[6] Bangladesh also qualified for the final, after they beat the West Indies in the fifth match.[7] Bangladesh won the series, after beating the West Indies by five wickets in a rain-affected final.[8] It was the first time that Bangladesh had won a multi-team international tournament.[9]
In late April 2019, Taskin Ahmed and Farhad Reza were added to Bangladesh's squad.[13]Mark Adair was added to Ireland's squad, replacing Stuart Thompson, who was ruled out due to injury.[14] After initially naming a squad for their first two ODIs, Ireland named an unchanged squad for the remaining fixtures.[15]
