The 2023 ECCB International Netball Series, also known as the 2023 OECS International Netball Series, was the third ECCB International Netball Series. It was organised by the Caribbean Netball Association. Seven national netball teams/Eastern Caribbean Central Bank members, including the hosts, Antigua and Barbuda, played a series of netball test matches in September and October 2023 at St. John's YMCA Sports Complex. They were also joined by guest teams Barbados and Cayman Islands.[1][2][3][4][5]

Barbados effectively won the overall series after winning all eight of their matches. Latonia Blackman was voted the Most Accurate Shooter and Shonica Griffith the Best Midcourt Player. Barbados were also named the Best Defensive Team.[6][7] Grenada won the Gloria Ballantyne Championship Trophy and several other awards including Most Disciplined Team, Top Scorer for Carlene Alexander and Best Defending Player for Kerissa Thomas.[8][9] Saint Vincent and the Grenadines finished as runners up[10][11][12] and the hosts, Antigua and Barbuda, finished third.[13]
