Originally the opening match of the tournament was scheduled to take place on 6 June 2021, but it was held on 3 May according to the revised fixtures of the tournament.[2] On 30 April 2021, Cricket Ireland released the revised fixtures of the series, with two teams taking part.[3][4] Although the previous editions of the tournament were competed between three teams, due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 season featured two teams, with Arachas named as the title sponsors of the event.[5][6]
In April 2021, Cricket Ireland announced the playing squads for both teams, with Laura Delany and Gaby Lewis named as the captains for the Typhoons and the Scorchers respectively.[7] Scorchers won the tournament, winning four of the six matches.[8]
