The 2022–23 Premier 15s is the 6th season of the Premier 15s, the highest tier of English domestic women's rugby union competition (the 24th season including editions of the previous Women's Premiership), and the 3rd to be sponsored by Allianz.
The competition schedule was adapted to take place in a shortened timeframe, compared with previous seasons, in order to accommodate the 2021 Rugby World Cup.[1]
For the second year running, the Allianz Cup took place alongside the league, with fixtures for this cup competition scheduled within the international windows during the season.
Teams
As in previous Premier 15s seasons, 10 teams have been named to compete in the 2022–23 competition.[2]

The entire pool stage of the Allianz Cup was contested before the start of the Premier 15s season. The Premier 15s clubs were ranked by their previous finishing position and drawn in two pools of five, with clubs playing each other once in two home games, two away games, one bye week over five rounds. The top two teams in each pool will progress to the semi-finals played at the highest ranked clubs' venues (16 April 2022) as well a third-placed play-off and final. The Allianz Cup final was played at the home venue of the winning semi-finalist club with the highest points difference. In a change from he previous season, the teams ranked third and fourth in each pool also enter semi-finals as the first and second ranked teams instead of instant finals, which remains for the fifth ranked teams, which is to be played in two legs.
