The 2022 McDonald's All-American Girls Game was an all-star basketball game that was held on March 29, 2022. The game's rosters featured the best and most highly recruited high school girls graduating in the class of 2022. The game was the 20th annual version of the McDonald's All-American Game first played in 2002. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the game had not been held since 2019.[1] The 24 players were selected from over 700 nominees by a committee of basketball experts. They were chosen not only for their on-court skills, but for their performances off the court as well.
