The 2022 Namibia Tri-Nation Series was the 17th round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 cricket tournament, took place in Namibia in November 2022.[1][2] It was a tri-nation series between Namibia, Papua New Guinea and the United States cricket teams, with the matches played as One Day International (ODI) fixtures.[3] The ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 formed part of the qualification pathway to the 2023 Cricket World Cup.[4][5]

Originally the series was scheduled to take place in September 2020.[3][6] However, the series was postponed in July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8] In December 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the rescheduled dates for the series.[9]

Namibia and the United States each claimed three wins from four games, while Papua New Guinea continued their struggles in the Cricket World Cup League 2 by losing all four of their matches in Windhoek.[10] In the fourth match of the series, Namibia's Tangeni Lungameni took six wickets for thirty-two runs in a victory against Papua New Guinea, setting the best ODI bowling figures for his country in an ODI.[11][12]
