"We are pleased to welcome Australia to Belfast in 2012 after their exciting RSA Challenge ODI against Ireland in Dublin 2010," he said.
"Although opportunities to find space in the Future Tours Programmed are rare against the world's leading teams, it is obvious that Cricket Australia is devoted to ensure that the top Associates, like Scotland and Ireland, have a chance to test themselves alongside the best and help us to improve.
"Off the field, the visit of such teams gives a massive boost to the profile of the sport, delivers a terrific return on speculation to our valued partners and an amazing day out for our fans."
Ireland coach Phil Simmons added: "It's fantastic that we're taking on Australia on home soil again. We had a fantastic opportunity to beat them in Dublin last year but let the game slip.

"As a coach and a player, these are the sort of furniture that you thrive on, and with the backing of the swarm in Belfast, we've a real chance of pull off another famous win."
