Ireland women star Sophie MacMahon has today announced her retirement from representative cricket.
MacMahon, 28, made 45 appearances for Ireland Women after making her debut in 2017 against England Women in a one-day match in Abu Dhabi.
Known as a hard-hitting batter and medium-pace bowler who consistently delivered a nagging length, the Leinster CC all-rounder registered her highest score of 42 for Ireland in a One-Day International against a full-strength South African bowling attack in Dublin in 2022.
She also claimed 21 wickets across formats with a best of 2-13 against Thailand in the Netherlands.
MacMahon was one of seven players who received the first-ever full-time playing contracts for Ireland Women in 2019, and last played for Ireland against Zimbabwe in July 2025, taking 2-21.
She will also step away from domestic representative cricket in the Evoke Super Series, but continue playing club cricket for Leinster Cricket Club.
