Early in his career, Jackson played for an Ulster side against an Indian team that was touring England in 1911, scoring two runs in the Ulster second innings. However, he did not play for the Ireland team until June 1923, when he played against Scotland which was his only first-class match. He played once more, in June 1924, against Wales in Belfast. His brother, Finlay, also played cricket for Ireland.
