Iryna Nafranowitsch was a student at Беларускі дзяржаўны ўнівэрсытэт фізычнай культуры (Belarusian State University of Physical Culture) in Minsk . She started her career as a cross-country skier. She made her international debut at the 2002 Junior World Championships in Schonach , where she was 38th in the 5-kilometer freestyle and the 15-kilometer classic race. In the freestyle sprint, the Belarusian was 48. A year later, she took part in the 2003 Winter Universiade in Tarvisio and was 27th in the 5-kilometer classic. In the following years, Nafranowitsch started mostly in lower-class races such as the Continental and Marathon Cups and FIS Run. In December 2004, she made her debut in the cross-country skiing world cup in a classic sprint in Asiago , which she finished in 50th. She reached a podium as third in the 55 km race in Oberammergau as part of the Cross-Country Marathon Cup in early February 2005. In January 2007, Nafranowitsch again took part in the Winter Universiade .

The Nordic World Ski Championships in Sapporo followed in 2007 . Nafranowitsch was 64th in the classic sprint, 37th in the 30-kilometer mass start and did not finish in the pursuit race. In 2009 the Belarusian took part in another Universiade and came in 35th place in Yabuli over the 5-kilometer freestyle and was ninth in the relay.
