[6][7] Ireland also competed in 3x3 basketball at the 2014 Europe Championships and the 2015 European Games.

In late 2015, it was announced that the national team would again join official FIBA Europe competitions after accepting an invitation to play the 2016 FIBA Women's European Championship for Small Countries.

[11][12] Before a FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2025 qualifier, held in February 2024, in response to "inflammatory and wholly inaccurate accusations of anti-Semitism [..] published on official Israeli [Basketball] federation channels", members of the team "boycotted the usual pre-match pleasantries" and did not shake hands with the Israeli team.

[13] A number of Irish team members also opted not to travel to the game,[13] which had been postponed from November 2023 and moved to Riga in Latvia due to the Israel–Hamas war.
