The 2022–23 Wellington Phoenix season is the club's second season in the A-League Women, the premier competition for women's football in Australia, originally known as the W-League.
On 25 May, Wellington Phoenix announced that head coach Gemma Lewis had signed a one-year contract extension with the club.[2] However, four months later Lewis departed to take up a job in her homeland with the Football Association of Wales, and assistant coach Natalie Lawrence replaced her as head coach.[3] The following month, Lawrence appointed Callum Holmes as assistant coach and Maia Vink as the team analyst and second assistant coach,[4] later confirming the rest of the staff with only the strength and conditioning coach, Daniel Gordon, retained.[5]
