Ryder punished the Ireland attack when his provincial side Otago took on the visitors in a one-dayer at Lincoln on the South Island. He belted a century off 39 balls and notched eight sixes and 18 fours before being dismissed as Otago won by three wickets.
Ryder was dropped from the Black Caps in February after a late-night drinking session in the latest in a series of off-field indiscretions. New Zealand coach Mike Hesson indicated this month that Ryder's international career was not necessarily over but "he's got a lot of ground to make up".
The Blacks Caps are struggling to find a winning one-day opening batting partnership ahead of next year's World Cup, with Ryder offering a potential solution if he resolves his off-field problems.
South Africa cruised to a six-wicket win over New Zealand in the first one-day international on Tuesday.
