The 2022 Currie Cup Premier Division was the 84th edition of the top tier of the Currie Cup, the premier domestic rugby union competition in South Africa. It was sponsored by beer brand Carling Black Label and organised by the South African Rugby Union.[1]
The tournament was played from January to June in 2022, following the realignment of the South African domestic rugby union calendar to dovetail with the northern hemisphere and the United Rugby Championship, which features four South African sides.
The competition again featured seven sides, with SA Rugby rejecting a proposal from the Eastern Province Elephants to join the competition immediately, however the winner of the 2022 Currie Cup First Division would be promoted to the Premier Division for 2023, forming an eight team competition. The 2022 Currie Cup First Division began later in the year.
