Derry Chamber is thrilled to join the North West Cricket Union in celebrating the arrival of the world-renowned West Indies cricket team to Bready Cricket Club this June for a highly anticipated three-match T20 International series.

Taking place on Thursday 12th, Saturday 14th, and Sunday 15th June, these matches mark a major milestone for our region—not just in sporting terms, but as a showcase of all that the North West has to offer. With international media coverage and live broadcasts spanning the three days, this event presents a unique opportunity to shine a global spotlight on our local economy, community, and cultural vibrancy.

From food and drink producers in the buzzing food village, to local families enjoying the vibrant kids’ zone, the week will offer a taste of everything that makes the North West unique.

We encourage our local businesses, residents, and visitors alike to take part in what promises to be a landmark occasion. For local retailers, hospitality venues, and service providers, this is a unique chance to benefit from increased footfall and heightened visibility.

We at the Chamber see this as a prime opportunity to support economic growth and the influx of visitors and media attention will not only drive immediate gains but will also contribute to laying the groundwork for future opportunities in tourism, investment, and regional development.

This celebration of sport in the North West doesn’t stop at cricket – this weekend, the region also plays host to the world-famous North West 200 motorcycling event, bringing thousands of visitors to the region. Adding to this excitement, the iconic Claret Jug was at Ebrington Square on Wednesday ahead of The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush, providing another moment of sporting history for local people to experience up close. Together, these landmark events underline how the North West is fast becoming a powerhouse for world-class sport, tourism, and community pride.
