The 2022 Island X-Prix (formally the 2022 Neom Island X-Prix) was a pair of Extreme E off-road races that was held on 6, 7, 9 and 10 July 2022 at Capo Teulada, in the Sulcis-Iglesiente region of the Italian island of Sardinia. It marked the second and third rounds of the electric off-road racing car series' second season, as well as the second running of the event. Though initially scheduled to host only the second round in May, it was later turned into a double header and postponed to July when the third round, originally planned to take place in Scotland or Senegal, was cancelled due to financial issues. ^[1] As such, the two events were treated as separate competitions and distinguished in official documents as the "Island X-Prix I" and "Island X-Prix II".

Kyle LeDuc and Sara Price won their first X-Prix for GMC Hummer EV Chip Ganassi Racing in the first round, ahead of Xite Energy Racing and JBXE, after a penalty for on-track winners Rosberg X Racing. ^{[2] [3]} Championship leaders Johan Kristoffersson and Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky from Rosberg X Racing dominated the second event, with Team X44 and Genesys Andretti United Extreme E rounding out the podium. ^[4]
