The 2020 Inter-Provincial Cup was the eighth edition of the Inter-Provincial Cup, a List A cricket competition that was played in Ireland during September 2020.[1] It was the fourth edition of the competition to be played with List A status. Leinster Lightning were the defending champions.[2]
The first two scheduled matches of the tournament, both between North West Warriors and Northern Knights, were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to the weather.[3][4] The next match saw Leinster Lightning beat Northern Knights by 91 runs, giving them a bonus point to lead the competition at the mid-way point.[5] In the fourth fixture, Leinster Lightning beat North West Warriors by 62 runs, in a rain-affected match.[6] The win, which included a bonus point, was enough to give Leinster an unassailable lead in the tournament, and their seventh consecutive title.[7] Leinster Lightning went on to win their remaining two matches,[8] finishing the tournament undefeated.[9]
