Contents

Nine teams qualified to the final week of the 2022 National Championships in Vaughan. Teams played either three or four group matches before the medal and ranking matches on the last day.

On the road to the National Championships, Gloucester Celtic FC beat Caledon SC in the 2022 Ontario Cup Final. [1]

Teams

Each of Canada Soccer's thirteen provincial and territorial associations can send one representative to the Challenge Trophy, with teams generally qualifying through a regional preliminary series such as an open cup or league competition. [2]

For the 2022 tournament, ten provincial associations confirmed their participation. New Brunswick's Fredericton Picaroons withdrew from the tournament in September 2022, leaving nine provincial representatives.
