Jersey and Guernsey have played an Inter-Insular cricket match annually since 1950, generally as 50-over contests.[2] A Twenty20 series was played for the first time in 2018,[3][4] and the 2019 T20 Inter-Insular Cup had official T20I status for the first time, following the International Cricket Council's decision to grant T20I status to all matches played between Associate Members after 1 January 2019.[5] Jersey were defending T20 champions, having won the 2023 series 2–0.[6]

The series was played on artificial surfaces to aid the preparations of both sides ahead of their respective European Qualifer events later in the summer.[7] Jersey retained the series by winning both matches on 22 June, before Guernsey picked up a consolation victory in the third match.[8] Guernsey's victory was their first win against their neighbours in T20Is, and their first success over them in any format since 2015.[9][10]
