An English team raised by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) toured New Zealand from December 1922 to February 1923 and played eight first-class matches including three against the New Zealand national cricket team. MCC also played the main provincial teams including Auckland (twice), Wellington, Canterbury and Otago.[1]

The MCC team was captained by Archie MacLaren and included Tich Freeman, Freddie Calthorpe, Percy Chapman and Clement Gibson. The overall tour included a short stopover in Ceylon, where a single minor match was played, and two visits to Australia where a total of seven first-class matches were played.[1]
