The South Africa cricket team toured Ireland in July 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4] Cricket Ireland confirmed the fixtures in February 2021.[5] Originally, the first and the third T20I matches were scheduled take place on 20 and 25 July respectively.[6] However, in June 2021, Cricket Ireland made a minor change to the tour itinerary by moving both of those matches forward by one day.[7] It was South Africa's first full limited overs tour of Ireland, after previously playing one ODI in Belfast in June 2007.[8] The opening T20I fixture was the first time the two teams had played each other in that format.[9]

Only 40.2 overs of Ireland's innings in the first ODI were possible due to rain, with the match finishing as a no result.[10] Ireland won the second ODI by 43 runs to record their first ever win against South Africa in international cricket.[11] South Africa won the third ODI by 70 runs to draw the series 1–1.[12] South Africa won the first two T20I matches to win the series with a match to spare.[13] South Africa won the third T20I by 49 runs to win the series 3–0.[14]
