The Scottish cricket team toured Ireland from 18 to 21 June 2015 to play four Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] Scotland won the four-match series 2–0, with two games declared no-results due to rain. Originally planned as a three-match series, an extra game was added to the schedule after the second match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain.[2] The tour was a warm-up for the 2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier which took place in Ireland the following month.
