The 2021–22 Dream11 Men's Super Smash (named after the competition's sponsor Dream11)[1] was the seventeenth season of the Men's Super Smash Twenty20 cricket tournament that was played in New Zealand.[2] In July 2021, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) named all the squads for the domestic teams ahead of the 2021–22 season,[3] and confirmed that the matches would mainly be played at the weekend.[4] On 27 October 2021, NZC confirmed the full fixtures for the tournament.[5] The Wellington Firebirds were the defending champions.[6]

Prior to the tournament, the Northern Districts T20 team, previously known as the Northern Knights, was rebranded as the Northern Brave.[7] Northern Brave finished top of the group stage to secure a place in the final of the tournament at their home ground of Seddon Park in Hamilton.[8] The Canterbury Kings and the Wellington Firebirds both qualified for the elimination final.[9] In the elimination match, the Canterbury Kings beat the Wellington Firebirds by six wickets to advance to the final.[10] The Northern Brave won the tournament, beating the Canterbury Kings by 56 runs in the final.[11]
