The 2022 Rugby Europe Super Cup was the second edition of the Rugby Europe Super Cup, an annual rugby union competition for professional franchises outside the three 'big leagues' of European Rugby. The competition featured two new teams, the Romanian Wolves and RC Batumi from Georgia.
Each participant played home and away-fixtures in six rounds of action, to be played between September and December. At the end of the pool stage, the top two teams from each conference qualified for the semi-finals, with the conference winners hosting the ties.
