The 2022 Men's South American Cricket Championship was a cricket tournament that took place in Itaguaí, Brazil from 20 to 23 October 2022.[1] This was the seventeenth edition of the men's South American Cricket Championship,[2] and the second in which matches were eligible for T20I status, since the ICC granted Twenty20 International (T20I) status to matches between all of its members.[3] However, matches played in this edition did not have T20I status.[citation needed]
The seven participating teams were the national sides of hosts Brazil, along with Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.[2] Argentina were the defending champions having won the event in 2019.[4]
Before the men's tournament, the Women's South American Championship, as well tournaments for under-15s and under-19s were played in October 2022.[1]
