The Irish Interprovincial Rugby Championship was an Irish Rugby Football Union competition run between the four provinces of Ireland - Ulster, Leinster, Munster and Connacht. The Irish Exiles took part for four years (1992–93 – 1995–96), finishing with only one match win in four seasons. The competition was run as a distinct competition from 1946–47 to 2000–01, with the 2001–02 fixtures being fulfilled by the match-ups in the newly formed Celtic League.

In addition to the official years of the competition, the unofficial Interpro records have been taken from the regular season matches between the provinces in the Celtic League, the Magners League or the Pro12 League. In recent years, the IRFU started a similar championship for 'A' squads, but these are not included here.

Roll of honour

  • asterisk denotes that the title was shared. Points difference was never used in the official tournament.
  • There were not a full set of matches to complete the competition in 2002–03.
  • The rules for deciding placing used for the Celtic League/Magners League/Pro12 for that season were used to decide the placings in the interpro table.
  • 2016–17 season

    assumes four points for a win, two for a draw. The use of bonus points only commenced in 1998–99.

    This is a simple count of the annual league placings, regardless of whether the top two or top three were considered joint winners. The "Total" column awards points where 1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points etc.
