Impact of COVID-19 pandemic[edit]

Just like the 2020 season, the 2022 season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Central Pulse were due to host the sixth edition of the official ANZ Premiership tournament at Te Wānanga o Raukawa in Otaki between 24 and 27 February. However, the tournament was cancelled after a change in COVID-19 alert levels.[29] Pulse's Round 1 match against Northern Stars was cancelled following a COVID-19 outbreak in their squad.[30][31] Their head coach Yvette McCausland-Durie also tested positive for COVID-19.[32][33][34]
