The encounter will be the second of the two-match ODI series between the countries, with the first scheduled to be played at Brightside Ground in Bristol on May 5.
England and Ireland have faced off seven times in the format with only one bilateral series that the two have engaged in, played in Ireland in 2015. The more renowned of their encounters was the ICC World Cup 2011 clash where Kevin O'Brien belted a 50-ball century to help Ireland chase down 327 in Bangalore and stun their neighbours.
Ireland recently lost a two-match ODI series to Sri Lanka at home before the tourists kick-started the five-match ODI series against England - the first of which, ended in a tie.
Ireland's next assignment is a five-match ODI series against Afghanistan, which is set to begin on July 10.
