The 2022 Rugby Europe Women's Sevens Championship Series will be the 2022 edition of Rugby Europe's annual rugby sevens season. Ten participating nations will compete in two legs, in Lisbon, Portugal, and Kraków, Poland.[1] There was a separate 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens European Qualifier event held in Bucharest in July.[2]
Russia and Ukraine were both scheduled to participate, however, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the World Rugby Executive Council barred the Rugby Union of Russia and Ukraine withdrew. Both France and Ireland, who were due to be relegated to the 2022 Trophy tournament as a punishment for not fielding teams in the previous 2021 Championship competition, were awarded the places vacated by Russia and Ukraine.
