The 2022–2023 Amateur Scottish Inter-District Championship is a rugby union competition for Scotland's amateur district teams.

[1] This is the fourth season of the re-instated Amateur Scottish Inter-District Championship in the professional era, and the first championship since the last professional inter-district championship of 2002–03 season; and the first amateur championship since the last Amateur Scottish Inter-District Championship was played over 20 years previously in the 2001–02 season.

[1] The teams involved would be the traditional sides of Glasgow District which incorporates Glasgow and the west of Scotland; Edinburgh District which incorporates the Lothians; Caledonia which incorporates the Midlands District and the North of Scotland District; and the South of Scotland District.

[2] The format of this season's championship would not be the traditional round-robin; but a knock-out competition.

The districts above would play off their 'semi-finals' for a place in the final.

The losing semi-finalists would play off for the 3rd - 4th place.

[2] The Inter-District Championship will not include Glasgow Warriors or Edinburgh Rugby professional players from the United Rugby Championship; or any players from the professional Super 6 league.

[3] Instead players will be drawn from the Scottish amateur leagues of the Scottish Premiership and the national leagues below.

The intention of this amateur inter-district championship is to:[3] 1. recognise players who have consistently performed with distinction for their club and provide them with an opportunity to represent their district; 2. provide an avenue for clubs to work in collaboration, strengthen relationships, and celebrate rugby in the region; 3. offer selected players and coaches a development opportunity through a higher standard of competition and; 4. provide a future selection vehicle for the Scotland Club XV international team.

The reprise of the amateur inter-district championship came about as Glasgow Hutchesons Aloysians proposed that the professional Super 6 league be scrapped so that monies freed could be directed towards the amateur clubs, and a regional club competition be re-instated.

However the amendment put forward to re-instate the Inter-District Championship and thus keep the professional Super 6 league won with 72 votes to 46 votes.

[1] A league table is included for completeness.

Braidholm, the home of Glasgow Hutchesons Aloysians, was chosen as the venue for the finals day.
