The 2023 Inter-Provincial Cup, also known as 2023 Men's Rario Inter-Provincial Series[1] for sponsorship reasons, was the 11th edition of the Inter-Provincial Cup, a List A cricket competition that took place in Ireland during 2023.[2] It was the seventh edition of the competition to be played with List A status. In May 2023, Cricket Ireland confirmed the fixtures for the tournament.[3] Munster Reds are the defending champions, having won the tournament for the first time in 2022.[4]

In the opening match, Munster Reds began their title defence with a six wicket loss against North West Warriors.[5] The tournament was won by the Northern Knights in the final match of the tournament;[6] it was the second title and first time the Northern Knights had won the tournament since it gained List A status in 2017.
