The 2022 Darwin Triple Crown (known for commercial purposes as the 2022 Merlin Darwin Triple Crown) was a motor racing event held as a part of the 2022 Supercars Championship from Saturday 18 June to Sunday 19 June 2022. The event was held at the Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin, Northern Territory. It was the sixth round of the 2022 Supercars Championship and consisted of three races of 110 kilometres each. The 2022 Darwin Triple Crown was the 2022 season's indigenous round, with teams required to make a livery change to represent the first nations culture for the round. Walkinshaw Andretti United opted to re-use their special livery in Townsville for NAIDOC Week.
