The 2022 All Japan University Football Championship was the 71st edition of the referred annually contested cup for universities across Japan. As usual, the tournament was contested by 24 universities on a knockout-stage format. Komazawa were the current champions, winning 3–2 past Hannan on the 2021 championship. However, as they didn't qualify for this edition, the university was unable to defend their title. Toin Yokohama took advantage of it, winning the championship by a 3–2 win after a last-minute goal against the Niigata University of Health and Welfare. This win was their first in this tournament.
