The 2022 season saw Southern Vipers compete in the 50 over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, of which they were defending champions, and the Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup. In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the side went unbeaten through the six group stage matches, therefore qualifying directly for the final.[1] In the final, they beat Central Sparks by 5 wickets with 4.1 overs to spare, therefore claiming their first Charlotte Edwards Cup title.[2]

In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, the side finished third in the group, winning five of their seven matches and therefore qualifying for the play-off.[3] They beat South East Stars in the play-off by six wickets, therefore setting up a final against Northern Diamonds, the third such Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final encounter in three years.[4] However, having won the last two finals, this time Vipers lost, by 2 runs.[5]

The side was captained by Georgia Adams and coached by Charlotte Edwards.[6] They played four home matches at the Rose Bowl and three at the County Ground, Hove.[7][8]
