Russia and Ukraine were both scheduled to participate, however, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the World Rugby Executive Council barred the Rugby Union of Russia and Ukraine withdrew. Both France and Ireland, who were due to be relegated to the 2022 Trophy tournament as a punishment for not fielding teams in the previous 2021 Championship competition, were awarded the places vacated by Russia and Ukraine.
