Unlike the England vs Australia or New Zealand vs Australia, the New Zealand vs Ireland rivalry is pretty new. With the Irish only receiving Test cricket two years back, the New Zealanders have not played any Test so far against Ireland. However, these two teams have contested quite a bit white-ball formats, with the Kiwis bossing the rivalry currently. Ireland though have run close New Zealand in T20Is.
