First round

The draw for the first round took place on 21 June 2022. Gerry McAnaney conducted proceedings, assisted by Paula Gorham.[1] 2021 finalists Shelbourne and Wexford Youths received a bye to the quarter-finals. Non-league clubs Douglas Hall, Whitehall Rangers, Bonagee United and Finglas United joined the eight remaining Women's National League (WNL) clubs. Teams in bold advanced to the quarter final. Sligo Rovers' received a walkover in their first ever Cup tie, when scheduled opponents Douglas Hall, from Cork, failed to fulfil the fixture.[2] Kate Mooney's goal after 32 seconds in DLR Waves' 5–0 win over Treaty United was thought to be the quickest in competition history.[3]
