The inaugural Inter-Provincial Championship was won by the Leinster Lightning, who clinched the title with one match to spare. Despite falling just four runs short of victory in their opening match, they then won their next two games before closing with a hard-fought, high-scoring draw against Northern Knights (cricket team) in the last game of the year at Waringstown.
The Inter-Provincial Series has been funded at least partly by the ICC via their TAPP programme.[2]
