The 2022 South American Rugby League Championship was the fourth edition of the tournament and was held in Jericó, Colombia between 25 and 27 November 2022. The teams participating in the tournament were Brazil, Chile and Colombia. Brazil won the tournament, winning both their games.[1]

The tournament was also a qualification round for the 2025 Rugby League World Cup, as Brazil were to advance to the 2023 Americas Rugby League Championship where they were to play against, and to determine which two sides would represent the Americas in France in 2025.[2] However, 2025 World Cup was cancelled before details of the Americas Rugby League Championship had been confirmed and the men's tournament did not take place in 2023. A different qualification process was announced for the 2026 World Cup.[3] [4]
