The 2022–23 Women's National Cricket League season was the 27th season of the Women's National Cricket League, the women's domestic limited overs cricket competition in Australia. The tournament ran from 23 September 2022 to 25 February 2023.
On 29 June 2022, Cricket Australia announced the fixtures for the tournament; a total of 43 matches will be played, with each of the seven teams playing each other team twice. Tasmania was the defending champion.
Tasmania also eventually won the tournament, and was awarded its second WNCL title, beating South Australia in the rain-affected final, which has been "... dubbed the most incredible domestic cricket match ever played on Australian soil."
During the final's very last over, described by news.com.au as "[o]ne of the craziest finishes in cricket", Tasmania took five wickets for two runs, to win the match and the championship by just one run (DLS method).
