Northern Ireland Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers

About Us


NIACUS International Representative Honours

Many of our NIACUS umpires have had the honour of being appointed to International matches, both at home and abroad.

Our umpires have officiated in Test matches, men's ODI and T20 matches and women's ODI and T20 matches.

The changing format of International cricket means that tv umpires and 4th umpires are needed as well as on field umpires.

Since 2012 NIACUS umpires have been involved in ICC tournaments in countries such as India, New Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Namibia, Kuwait, Netherlands, Germany, Jersey, Guernsey, England, Scotland, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Cyprus.

From 2018 Cricket Ireland has had an International Umpire Panel of four officials. NIACUS have been represented on this Panel since it began. The umpires in this CI International Panel are eligible to be nominated for ICC tournaments around the world.

Umpires below the CI International Panel have also had opportunities to stand in ICC European tournaments.

There is a clear pathway for umpires with aspirations to reach the top level and the number of International appointments and opportunities are ever increasing.

In July 2024 four officials from NIACUS were involved in the Test Match between Ireland and Zimbabwe at Stormont.
