The 2022 Spain Tri-Nation Series was a Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that was held in Spain from 29 April to 1 May 2022.[1] The event was the first international series of the 2022 European summer season.[2] The participating teams were the hosts Spain, along with Guernsey and Norway.[3] The series was played at the Desert Springs Cricket Ground in Almería.[4] All competing nations used the event as preparation for the 2022–23 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier subregional tournaments.[5]

Norway recovered from a slow start to beat Guernsey by 37 runs in the opening game.[6] Day two saw both Spain and Guernsey defeat Norway, before the hosts beat Guernsey to end the day on top of the table.[7] Spain were well beaten by Guernsey on the final morning,[8] but followed this with a comfortable victory over Norway to claim the series.[9]
