The 2022 edition of the Division 3 West Tournament was held on 10 February 2023 in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. With Qatar winning the competition with 12-40 win over Iran.
Originally due to have taken place May 9 to May 14. Qatar, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Oman where all interested in featuring. Lebanon and Iran both were front runners to host but due to progress made by Iran over the last 6 years they were awarded the position of hosts.
In April 2022 the competition was postponed until the September and was set to be between Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria.
By September the competition was once again postponed this time to October 2022. Iraq, Lebanon and Syria all dropped out with Qatar coming back in. Qatar and Iran were to play two tests on October 8 and 11 in Tehran.
