History
editIn April 2017, Cricket Ireland approved the participation of the team in the Interprovincial Twenty20 Cup, the highest level of T20 domestic cricket in Ireland.[1] They joined Leinster Lightning, North West Warriors and Northern Knights in the 2017 tournament.[2]
They debuted in the Inter-Provincial Trophy on 26 May 2017, and won their first match, against North West Warriors, on 6 July 2018.[3]
Following a successful end to their 2018 season, there was talk of Munster Reds being included in the Interprovincial One-Day Trophy competition, but while this is an objective of Cricket Ireland, it was confirmed this would not happen in 2019.[4] In February 2021, Cricket Ireland confirmed that the team would take part in the 2021 tournament.[5]
Munster won their inaugural Inter-Provincial title when they won the 2022 Inter-Provincial Cup.
Former Ireland international Jeremy Bray was appointed as head-coach in 2023.[6]
