The Northern Knights were the inaugural winners of the competition, following a surprise last day defeat of Leinster Lightning by North West Warriors by 71 runs in Strabane. That result meant the Northern Knights finished top of the table with 10 points from four matches.
The Inter-Provincial Series has been funded at least partly by the ICC via their TAPP programme.[2]
