The 2022 Constellation Cup was the 12th Constellation Cup series between Australia and New Zealand. The series was held in October 2022 across four netball test matches, with two matches each held in New Zealand and Australia.[1][2][3] New Zealand were the defending holders of the cup, having defeated Australia by three games to one in 2021.[4]

New Zealand won the first two tests and led 2–0 going into the third test. However, Australia won the third and fourth tests to level the series at 2–2. Australia were declared the winners to regain the Constellation Cup for the tenth time because, having scored 215 goals compared to New Zealand's 208, they had a better aggregate score over the series.[5]
