The 2022 Rugby Africa Women's Cup is the second edition of the Rugby Africa Women's Cup following the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 editions due to COVID-19 related restrictions. The 12 teams are split in 4 pools that play a single round-robin where the winners classify to the second phase of the tournament. Pool A was played in June 2022 due to South Africa participation on the 2021 World Cup. The schedule for the other pools was announced by Rugby Africa on October 10, 2022. ^[1]

The tournament reconvened on October 14 and concluded on November 12. South Africa, Kenya, Madagascar and Cameroon were the four teams to qualify after topping their respective pools. ^[2]
