The 2022 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship was the 49th edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's premier inter-county ladies' Gaelic Football tournament. It took place in summer 2022 in Ireland. Meath retained the title they won in 2021.

Format

Provincial championships

The 13 teams first play in their provincial championships; Connacht (2 teams), Munster (4 teams) and Ulster (4 teams) each organise their provincial championship as a straight knockout.

In Leinster there are three teams in the provincial championship. They play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.

Group stage

The 13 teams are drawn into one group of four teams and three groups of three teams; seeding is based on performance in the provincial championships. Each team plays each other team in its group once, earning three points for a win and one for a draw.

Relegation

The last-placed teams in the groups played off to decide which two teams were relegated to the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship.

Knockout stage

The top two in each group progress to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Quarter-finals and semi-finals are "results on the day," with 20 minutes' extra time being played in the event of a draw, and a free-kick shootout being taken from a 30 m (33 yd) distance in the event of a draw after extra time. If the All-Ireland final is a draw, the game is replayed.
