How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Irelia will try to bully you early. Give up CS if needed  your job is to not die. Ryze outscales hard after 2 items. Play for farm, not fights.
Mixed Resistances
Ryze deals AP damage while Irelia deals AD. 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 Irelia's Weakness
Irelia's main weakness: Hard CC, not hitting E, falling behind. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Ryze Win Condition
EQ combo spam, R team teleport, scale into DPS mage
