2022 CONCACAF W Championship

The 2022 CONCACAF W Championship was the 11th edition of the CONCACAF W Championship, the quadrennial international women's football championship contested by the senior women's national teams of the member associations of CONCACAF, the regional governing body of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Eight teams played in the tournament, which took place from 4 to 18 July 2022 in Mexico. The United States emerged as the winner, defeating Canada 1–0 in the final.

The tournament served as the CONCACAF qualifiers to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, as well as for the football tournaments at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France and the 2023 Pan American Games in Chile. The top two teams in each of the two groups qualified for the Women's World Cup, while the third-placed teams from each group advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs. The winner qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics and the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup, while the second and third-placed teams advanced to the CONCACAF Olympic play-off. Finally, the champions and the best team from each of the three CONCACAF sub-regions qualified for the 2023 Pan American Games.

The United States were the two-time defending champions, having won the 2014 and 2018 tournaments.

The qualifying competition was held in February and April 2022. For six of the available eight slots, thirty teams were drawn into six groups of five, and played two home and two away matches in a single round-robin format. The six group winners advanced to the CONCACAF W Championship. In addition, Canada and the United States, the two highest-ranked CONCACAF teams in the FIFA Women's World Rankings of August 2020, qualified automatically.

The following teams qualified for the CONCACAF W Championship.

On 14 February 2022, CONCACAF announced that the tournament would be held in Mexico and that matches would be played in the cities of Guadalupe and San Nicolás de los Garza, both located in the Monterrey metropolitan area, within the state of Nuevo León.

For commercial reasons, Estadio BBVA changed its name to "Estadio del Club de Fútbol Monterrey" during the tournament.

Eight teams played in the tournament, drawn into two groups of four teams and played single round-robin matches. The top two teams of each group advanced to the knockout stage, and qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The two third-placed teams from the group stage advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs. The number of slots is an expansion from the previous Women's World Cup qualifying competition, which allocated only 3.5 spots to CONCACAF.
