The 2023 Shute Shield season, also known as the Charter Hall Shute Shield,[a] or the NSWRU Shute Shield, was the 149th season of the semi-professional premier-grade rugby union club competition in the Australian state of New South Wales. With all but one club playing inside the Sydney area, the competition held the same number of teams from the previous season, twelve, following difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the axing of Western Sydney club, Penrith Emus.[1][2]

The regular season began on 1 April and concluded following eighteen rounds, with one bye round, on 5 August. A six team finals series kicked-off following round eighteen. The Grand Final was played on August 26, with Randwick defeating the Northern Suburbs 17–15.[3] The defending champions were Sydney University.[4][5]
