Umpires and Scorers

Umpires, scorers and other match officials are crucial roles in the administration, development and growth of our game. The following information provides guidance on umpiring and scorers associations, umpiring panets and links to find out how you can get involved.
The Irish Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers (IACUS) and Northern Ireland Association of Cricket Umpires (NIACUS) are the associations overseeing umpiring and scoring in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland respectively.
The Leinster Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association (LCU&SA) also exists to oversee these activities in the Leinster Cricket Union.
Umpiring Panels
The full Cricket Ireland / IACUS Umpiring Panel for 2022 is drawn from:
• Leinster Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association (LCU&SA)
• Northern Ireland Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers (NIACUS)
• North West Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association (NWCUSA)
Match Referees and Scorers
In 2019, funding was allocated for the appointment of a panel of up to six Match Referees, who are primarily responsible for Inter-Provincial matches, Super 3s and Wolves cricket. In addition to these six, our two existing ICC-level referees will be available where possible to these matches. Additionally, Cricket Ireland has increased match fees for all umpires, match referees and scorers from the start of the 2019 season.
