The 2022 end of year rugby union tests, also known as the 2022 Autumn internationals, were a number of rugby union test matches played during the months of October and November. Some of the games were known as the Autumn Nations Series for marketing purposes. Also involved in matches were some second-tier teams. These international games count towards World Rugby's ranking system, with a team typically playing from two to four matches during this period.
Australia recorded their first test victory over Scotland since November 2016, following three consecutive wins for the Scots, thus reclaiming the Hopetoun Cup.
Referee Wayne Barnes became the second referee to officiate his 100th test match, and also equalled Nigel Owens' record for the most test matches refereed.
New Zealand equaled their record points total against Wales, matching the total of 55 achieved in June 2003. It was also their highest points total away to the Welsh, breaking the previous record of 54 set in October 2021.
Wales lost to a Tier 2 nation for the first time since their 23–8 loss to Japan during their 2013 tour. They also recorded their first home loss to a Tier 2 side since losing to Samoa by 26–19 in November 2012.
France finished 2022 unbeaten, becoming only the third team to win all their games in an entire calendar year; after New Zealand in 2013, and England in 2016.
