The 2022–23 WRU Championship (or Admiral Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the tenth season of the WRU Championship, the second tier of club rugby in Wales run by the Welsh Rugby Union. It was contested by 14 Welsh clubs.
Structure The structure reverted to its traditional league format following truncation the previous season. Each team played each other team on a home and away basis for a total of 26 games. League points were awarded as follows – 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 0 for a loss. Teams could also earn an additional bonus point by scoring four or more tries in a match and/or losing by less than seven points. As the Premiership will expand to 14 teams for the 2023–24 season, the top two clubs will be promoted - providing they meet the WRU A Licence criteria. No teams were relegated.
Teams The same 14 teams from the 2021–22 season competed this term. Bargoed were the reigning champions.
