Team sprint
The Women's team sprint competition at the 2022 World Sprint Speed Skating Championships was held on 5 March 2022. It was the third edition of a team sprint world championship.

It was the first time that the team sprint event was held during the 2022 World Sprint Speed Skating Championships because there were in 2022 no World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships due to the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Qualification
Teams qualified via the overall team sprint standings of the 2021–22 ISU Speed Skating World Cup that was made on basis of the only team sprint race in November 2021 in Stavanger, Norway.

Dutch team selection
Ahead of the championships Dutch national coach Jan Coopmans selected Jutta Leerdam, Dione Voskamp and Isabelle van Elst. Femke Kok, the fastest Dutch 500m skater, was not selected. Kok said a few days before the race that she was “a bit shocked” that she was not selected and felt “very passed over”. Coopmans gave reasons that Kok did not agree with. The day before the event, Coopmans replaced Van Elst, who came especially for the team sprint event to Hamar, for Kok.

Results
The race started on 5 March at 18:00.

Aftermath
Because the Dutch Van Elst was suddenly removed from the selection, she decided to stop representing the Netherlands in speed skating and started skating for Belgium, as she has a Belgian mother.
