It was held in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône from 29 May to 12 June 2022.[1] The last champions Brazil were not invited to the 2022 tournament.

Twelve participating teams were announced on 14 April 2022.[1]
The Maurice Revello Tournament and FIFA, on 20 May 2022, announced a collaboration that ensured all matches in the tournament are refereed by women. The referees were chosen from among the referee candidates for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3]
Every match consists of two periods of 45 minutes each. In a match, every team has eleven named substitutes and the maximum number of substitutions permitted is five.
In the group stage, in the event of a draw, the two teams face each other in a penalty shoot-out, with a bonus point for the winners. In the knockout stage, if a game tied, extra time would not be played and a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners.
Group stage
The groups were announced on 14 April 2022. The twelve teams were drawn into three groups of four.[1] In the group stage, each group was played on a round-robin basis. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw – extra point for the penalty-shootout winners, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Goal difference; 2. Goals scored; 3. Fair play points. The group winners and the best runners-up advanced to the semi-finals. The Group stage was played from 29 May to 6 June 2022.
