The 2022 New Zealand Men's National League is the second scheduled season of the National League since its restructuring in 2021; the 2021 National League was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in northern regions.[1] 32 clubs compete in the competition, with four qualifying from the Northern League, three qualifying from the Central League and two qualifying from the Southern League for the National Championship phase.[2] Each team can field a maximum of four foreign players as well as one additional foreign player who has Oceania Football Confederation nationality.[3] Each team must also have at least two players aged 20 or under in the starting eleven.[4]

This season the Wellington Phoenix Reserves replaced Lower Hutt City and was allowed to play in the Central League though they still have an automatic entry into the Championship phase. The Southern League also increased by two teams to have ten, adding three new sides to the league.

Central League teams

Ten teams are competing in the league – the top nine teams from the previous season and the one team promoted from the 2021 play-off between the winners of the Central Federation League and the Capital Premier. The winner of the play-off was Havelock North Wanderers. This is their first season in the Central League, since New Zealand football’s restructuring in 2021.[32] They replaced Wainuiomata (relegated to the Capital Premier League). Wairarapa United was entered as one of the originally 10 teams to play the 2022 season but withdrew with just two weeks to go before the start of the season.[33] They were replaced by Wellington United who had originally missed out on promotion to Havelock North Wanderers.[34] Lower Hutt City was also replaced by Wellington Phoenix Reserves for the Central League games.

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 3, but then postponed and played between rounds 6 and 7, it is added to the standings for round 6.
