The team lost only one match to the United States. Ireland's performance in this tournament gained them qualification for the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
Among other ICC full members, Ireland has beaten only Afghanistan and Zimbabwe at the Under-19 World Cup. At the time of their victories over Zimbabwe, Ireland was an associate member.
Ireland was added to the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup on 6 January 2016, after Australian under-19s withdrew due to security concerns. They announced their squad two days later.
