Jonathan James Garth (born 19 December 2000) is an Irish cricketer.[1][2] Garth comes from a cricketing family, with his father Jonathan, mother Anne-Marie McDonald, and his sister Kim all representing Ireland at an international level.[3]

He made his List A debut for Ireland A against Bangladesh A on 1 August 2018.[4] Prior to his List A debut, he was named in Ireland's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[5] He made his first-class cricket debut for Ireland A against Sri Lanka A on 5 January 2019.[6] He made his Twenty20 debut for Munster Reds in the 2019 Inter-Provincial Trophy on 22 June 2019.[7]

On 10 July 2020, Garth was named in Ireland's 21-man squad to travel to England to start training behind closed doors for the One Day International (ODI) series against the England cricket team.[8][9] Following his inclusion in the training squad, Garth said he was "surprised but delighted" to be named in the team.[10]

In February 2021, Garth was named in the Ireland Wolves' squad for their tour to Bangladesh.[11][12] Later the same month, Garth was part of the intake for the Cricket Ireland Academy.[13]
