Cricket Ireland is leading an initiative to organize a new continental tournament called the Euro Nations Cup, featuring top European cricket teams. The event, inspired by the European Football Championship, is expected to include England, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, and Italy. It will feature both men's and women's T20 competitions, following a format similar to the Asia Cup. Cricket Ireland chairman Brian MacNeice said discussions with stakeholders have advanced significantly, and the tournament could begin next year.

MacNeice expressed strong personal commitment to the project, noting that talks have evolved to a stage where he feels confident about its realization. He added that the Euro Nations Cup is expected to launch in the summer of 2027, with detailed plans and structure to be announced in the coming months.

The initiative aims to strengthen European cricket collaboration and visibility, with formal announcements anticipated within the next two months.
