The 2023 Continent Cup T20 Africa was a men's Twenty20 Intertnational (T20I) cricket tournament that was played in Nairobi, Kenya, in June 2023. The tournament was organised by the International League T20. The participating teams were Kenya, Botswana, Rwanda and Uganda. The tournament was to be contested as a single round-robin followed by semi-finals and a final, but this was changed to a double round-robin and a final after the withdrawal of Nigeria, and later to a triple round-robin and final after the withdrawal of Tanzania. All of the matches were played at the Gymkhana Club Ground.
Uganda and Kenya advanced from the round-robin to the final. Uganda won eight of their nine matches, while the hosts won six. The only defeat for Uganda in the round-robin was the first of their three matches against Kenya.
In the final, Uganda collapsed to 5/4 before posting 125 all out. Kenya were in a good position in their chase but ended just short of their target, meaning that Uganda won the inaugural Continent Cup T20 Africa by one run.
