The 2023 USA Rugby League season was the 26th season overall of amateur and semi-professional rugby league competition in the United States and the 11th season under the governance of the USARL.
With the inclusion of the Pacific Coast Rugby League, the competition is now officially played on both coasts of the United States, with the winner being the first-ever coast to coast National Champion in American rugby league history. The league sees a boost in participating clubs from four in 2022 to twelve in 2023. Two more clubs will join in 2024.
