McCann made his debut for Ireland in two List A matches against West Indies A in 2010 at the Stormont. With the unavailability of regular wicket-keeper Niall O'Brien, McCann was selected for Ireland's squad for the 2010 World Cricket League Division One. McCann made his One Day International debut during the tournament, against Kenya. He made six One Day International appearances during the tournament. McCann had an uneventful tournament, which was eventually won by Ireland, scoring 24 runs at an average of 8.00, while behind the stumps he took 8 catches.

During Ireland's tour to Canada in September 2010, McCann made his first-class debut against Canada in the Intercontinental Cup. Opening the batting in this match, he was dismissed for 4 runs in Ireland's first-innings by Khurram Chohan, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a duck by Henry Osinde. Though a poor match for McCann with the bat, he did stand out behind the stumps, taking five catches in the Canadians first-innings and four in their second. He later played in both of Ireland's One Day Internationals that followed the first-class match. due in part to Niall O'Brien's participation in the Bangladesh Premier League.
