The 2022 Women's Six Nations Championship, known as the TikTok Women's Six Nations for marketing purposes, was the 21st series of the Women's Six Nations Championship, an annual women's rugby union competition between England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. It was held from 26 March to 30 April 2022.[1]
England entered the tournament as defending champions, having won the abridged version of the competition held in 2021.[2]
England defeated France in the final round of the tournament to secure their 18th title and their 16th Grand Slam.
The 2022 competition saw the tournament return to its traditional format, with each participating country playing each other once, following the COVID disrupted tournament that took place in 2021. However the tournament retained its later starting date, which saw it begin after the conclusion of the men's competition.[3]
