The 2021–22 Ford Trophy was the 51st season of The Ford Trophy, the List A cricket tournament that was played in New Zealand.[1] It was the eleventh in a sponsorship deal between New Zealand Cricket and Ford Motor Company. The tournament ran from November 2021 to February 2022.[2] In July 2021, New Zealand Cricket named all the squads for the domestic teams ahead of the 2021–22 season,[3] and confirmed the fixtures in September 2021.[4][5] Canterbury were the defending champions.[6]

Following the completion of matches played on 20 February 2022, Central Districts were the first team to reach the final of the tournament.[7] They were joined by Auckland, who beat Otago in their penultimate group match to secure their berth in the final.[8] In the final, Auckland beat Central Districts by eight wickets to win the tournament.[9]
