The 2022–23 Norwegian Handball Cup (Norwegian: NM (Norgesmesterskapet)) was the 56th edition of the national women's handball cup tournament. Vipers Kristiansand defended their title after winning the final against Sola HK.

If a game ends with a draw after the regular time, it will proceed to two 5-minutes periods of extra time. If there is still a draw, another 2 × 5-minutes extra time will be played. If the scores are still level after two extra times, the winner is decided by a 7-meter shootout.

Round and draw dates

The schedule of the competition will be as follows (all draws are held at the NHF headquarters in Oslo, Norway).
