The Afghanistan cricket team toured Ireland in August 2018 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) matches against the Ireland cricket team. Afghanistan won the T20I series 2–0, after the third match was abandoned due to overnight rain and a wet outfield. Afghanistan won the ODI series 2–1.
The second match of the ODI series was the 100th ODI to be played by Afghanistan. In the same match, Mohammad Nabi became the first cricketer for Afghanistan to play in 100 ODIs.
