The 2022–23 Plunket Shield was the 94th season of the Plunket Shield, the domestic first-class cricket competition that was played in New Zealand. The tournament started on 18 October 2022, and the final round of matches was played in March 2023.[1] Auckland were the defending champions, having won their 24th title the previous year.[2]

In their second-round match against Canterbury, Wellington were dismissed for just 80 runs in their first innings and 87 runs in their second, setting a new record-lowest score across two completed innings of a Plunket Shield match, and Wellington's lowest score in any first-class match since 1887.[3]

On 17 March 2023, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced the date and venue for the rescheduled match between Central Districts and Auckland.[4] Central Districts won the tournament to clinch their 12th Plunket Shield title, finishing on 101 points with 5 wins.[5]
