The Irish Cricketers’ Association was founded in 2017 to represent the interests of cricketers in Ireland.
The ICA represents both the men’s and women’s senior national squads and is a recognised full member of the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (FICA). Its role is to represent the interests and welfare of our members, and to use our voice to shape the development of the game to the benefit of all stakeholders in our sport.
To promote the game of cricket and to represent, promote, advance and protect the welfare and interests of members both domestically and internationally.
The ICAs’ principles are to:
The ICA recently appointed Kevin O’Brien as president and the ICA Board comprises past and current players as well as a part-time Administrator.
It is a crucial time for cricket in Ireland with the progress of the Ireland Women’s and Ireland Men's teams making great strides on the international stage.
Irish cricketers face an increasingly competitive and professional international environment while domestically, cricket is growing as a sport of choice for children and adults that is diverse and brings a number of communities together.
The ICA Executive Committee is comprised of:
The ICA believes that the key to success is through communication and coordination with the ICA Board, its members, Ireland’s cricket governing body and other partners.
It plans to build on its current membership base and extend it out to other groups, including domestic inter-provincial and past players. It also aims to expand its organisation to include positions such as Player Development Manager, Player Welfare officer and to put together a Player Development Programme to further support members. While there is access to such resources for some members, the ICA aim is to increase resources so as to make them available across the board so that members have the necessary tools to assist them with their current sporting career and the important transition into whatever the future holds beyond cricket.
