The 2022 Arnold Clark Cup was the first edition of the Arnold Clark Cup, an invitational women's association football tournament hosted by The Football Association, held from 17 to 23 February 2022.[1]

Format

The four invited teams played each other once in a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage follow the formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.

Venues

Several fixtures were originally planned to be scheduled as double-headers with shared ticketing, but plans were scrapped due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, matches that did not feature England had low attendances, including 249 spectators at the opening match between Germany and Spain.[2]
