The 2022 Rally New Zealand (also known as the Repco Rally New Zealand 2022) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was held over four days between 29 September and 2 October 2022.[2] It would mark the forty-fifth running of the Rally New Zealand. The event was the eleventh round of the 2022 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The 2022 event was based in Auckland of North Island and was set to be contested over seventeen special stages covering a total competitive distance of 279.80 km (173.86 mi).[1]
Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena were the overall reigning rally winners, but they would not defend their titles. Citroën Total World Rally Team, the team they drove for in 2012, when the Rally New Zealand held a World Rally Championship event last time, were the defending manufacturers' winners.[3] However, they would not defend the rally either as they withdrew from the championship at the end of 2019.[4]
Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen won their sixth rally of the season and became the 2022 World Champions. Their team, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, were the manufacturers' winners.[5] Hayden Paddon and John Kennard won the World Rally Championship-2 category.[6]
