The 2023 Inter-Provincial Cup, also known as 2023 Men's Rario Inter-Provincial Series for sponsorship reasons, was the 11th edition of the Inter-Provincial Cup, a List A cricket competition that took place in Ireland during 2023. 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. Munster Reds are the defending champions, having won the tournament for the first time in 2022.

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