The tournament acted as South American qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand,[3] providing three direct qualifying places and two play-off places for the Women's World Cup,[4] and three more places for the 2023 Pan American Games tournament in Santiago (in addition to Chile who qualified automatically as hosts). In addition, the two finalists qualified for the football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. After this edition, the tournament would be held every two years instead of four.[5]

Brazil, the four-time defending champions, defeated Colombia 1–0 in the final to win their 8th title.[6] As winners, they competed in the inaugural 2023 Women's Finalissima against England, winners of UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[7]

Knockout stage
Main article: 2022 Copa América Femenina knockout stage

In the knockout phase, if the fifth-place play-off, semi-finals and third-place play-off were level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, no extra time would be played and the match would be decided by a direct penalty shoot-out. Only if the final was level at the end of the normal playing time, extra time would be played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team would be allowed to make an extra substitution. If still tied after extra time, the final would be decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the champions.[13]
