The 2023 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy was the fourth edition of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, an English women's cricket 50-over domestic competition, which took place between 22 April and 24 September 2023. It featured eight teams playing in a double round-robin group stage, followed by a knock-out round. It ran alongside the Charlotte Edwards Cup. Northern Diamonds were the defending champions. ^[1]

Southern Vipers won the tournament, their third Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy title, beating The Blaze in the final. ^[2]

Format

Teams played each other twice in a group of eight, with the top three qualifying for the knock-out stage. This represented a doubling of group stage matches from the previous season, which saw teams play each other once. ^[3] The second-placed team in the group played the third-placed team in a play-off, with the winner advancing to play the first-placed team in the final. The final was held at the County Ground, Northampton. ^[4]
