International rugby league in 2022
A list of men, women and wheelchair senior international rugby league matches played throughout 2022.
A † denotes a match that did not contribute to the IRL World Rankings - i.e. not a senior international match as designated by the International Rugby League.
The 2021 Rugby League World Cup was postponed until 2022 due to Australia and New Zealand pulling out months before the tournament was scheduled to commence.
