How to Play This Matchup
Early Aggression
Irelia needs to punish Ryze before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Ryze reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.
Mixed Resistances
Irelia deals AD damage while Ryze deals AP. Build resistances accordingly  don't stack the wrong type.
Range Advantage
Ryze has range advantage. Irelia should look for short trades when Ryze uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Ryze's Weakness
Ryze's main weakness: Short range, weak early, needs stacking time. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Irelia Win Condition
Stack passive on minions, all-in with 4 stacks
Ryze Win Condition
EQ combo spam, R team teleport, scale into DPS mage
