The 2023 RFL Women's Super League (also known as the Betfred Women's Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the seventh season of the Women's Super League, for female players in clubs affiliated to the Rugby Football League (RFL).
Leeds Rhinos were the defending champions having defeated York City Knights in the 2022 Grand Final. Since then both teams had announced that they would become semi-professional for the 2023 season and York had been rebranded as York Valkyrie. On 9 April, they faced each other at Headingley in the opening match of the 2023 season. York went unbeaten through the regular season to retain the League Leaders' Shield and defeated Leeds 16–6 in the Grand Final on 23 September.
In a change from the 2022 season the 12 teams were split into two groups of six. In Group 1 Huddersfield, Leeds, St Helens, Wigan and York were joined by Warrington who had won the 2022 promotion final. Group 2 comprised Barrow, Bradford, Castleford, Featherstone, Salford and Leigh Leopards who replaced Leigh Miners Rangers.
This was the last season of the two-group Super League before a restructuring of the league for 2024. The six teams in Group 1 were joined in the 2024 Super League by the team finishing first in Group 2 and the winners of the Group 2 play-offs. Featherstone Rovers won the automatic promotion place while Barrow Raiders won the play-offs for the second promotion place.
