The 2022 Costa Rican Cup (known as Torneo de Copa 2022 Suerox for sponsorship reasons) was the 4th staging of the Costa Rican Cup, and the first edition since 2015, following a seven-year hiatus. The tournament was dedicated to Anthony Vargas, goalkeeping coach for Guadalupe who had died from a heart attack during a training session in October 2022, aged 29.[1]
The tournament featured all twelve teams from the Liga FPD plus four sides from the Segunda División de Costa Rica. The format consisted in a knockout tournament, starting from the Round 16 to the final, with all stages (including the final) being double-legged.[2]
Cartaginés, who entered the tournament as the most recent champions after winning the 2015 edition, won the cup by defeating Herediano in the finals.[3] It is the third consecutive time that Cartaginés wins the Costa Rican Cup.

Sixteen teams will participate in the 2022 Costa Rican Cup.
