The Ireland national compromise rules shinty-hurling team is the representative team for Ireland (both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) in Composite rules shinty-hurling consisting of hurling players. Few players from the highest level of hurling compete and the team is made up mostly of hurlers from competitions such as the Ring, Rackard and Meagher Cups.

At present the only team it plays is the Scotland national shinty team, on an annual basis. Ireland had a seven-year run of victories until 2004 although the next victory did not come until 2009.

Recently a women's series has been inaugurated to coincide with the men's and become an integral part of the annual series. Ireland won the first series.
