Date	13 September 2017
Captains	William Porterfield	Jason Holder
One Day International series

The West Indies cricket team toured Ireland in September 2017 to play a One Day International (ODI) match.^[1][2][3] It was Ireland's first scheduled ODI match since they became a Full Member side in June 2017.^[4] The teams last faced each other when they met in the group stage of the 2015 Cricket World Cup.^[5] However, the match was called-off without a ball bowled due to rain and a wet outfield.^[6][7] As a result, the West Indies needed to remain undefeated when they played five ODIs against England later in September to avoid the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier; they were unsuccessful, and therefore failed to directly qualify for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.^[8]
