In USPSA, regardless of division, the minimum caliber for self-loaders is 9x19mm (aka 9mm Parabellum aka 9mm Luger aka 9mm). For revolvers, it's .38 special. You can find the rules for USPSA at United States Practical Shooting Association. In IDPA, each division has a caliber minium. For Stock Service Pistol and Enhanced Service Pistol, it's 9x19mm. For Custom Defensive Pistol it's .45ACP. For Stock Service and Enhanced Service Revolver, it's .38 special. As noted above, IDPA rules also have the provision for "BUG" (back-up gun) matches. You can find the rules at International Defensive Pistol Association to verify that calibers below 9x19mm are allowed. I do believe that it's centerfire only, though. The sports where .22LR is allowed are the steel shooting sports (like Steel Challenge), NRA Action Pistol, and some bowling pin matches. I've never heard of anyone using a Jennings .22LR for a steel match, but I suppose it would be possible. Ultimately, unless a match is governed by specific rules such as USPSA or IDPA, you'll have to ask the match director. There are too many action and practical shooting sports and various "outlaw" spinoffs to answer such a general question.
