The first category of men's football 2011-12 was the 35th edition of Cyprus's first class football under the auspices of the Cyprus Football Federation. The championship was won by AEK Karava for the first time in her history.

Operating system
The 2010–11 first-class championship was attended by 7 teams. It was held in two phases. In the first phase, all teams competed between them twice, once inside and one away. After completing the 12 racers ( Phase I) the teams were divided into 2 groups, depending on their position, giving ranking matches ( Phase II). The results, points, sets and points of Phase I were transferred to the rankings.

Teams in seats 1–4 competed for winning the league and the positions leading to the European championships. The teams fought each other twice, once inside and once away. The champion was declared the team that gathered most points. Teams in positions 5–7 competed between them twice, once inside and one away. There was no demoralization.

Score system
Each win was scored by 2 points and every loss by 1 point.

Classification criteria
The teams were ranked based on the total number of points they won. In case of a tie in the total number of points won by two or more teams the ranking criteria were:
Higher ranked the team with the greatest difference between the victors and the lost sets.
If the teams had the same difference, the group was ranked higher with the largest fraction resulting from the division of the total winning sets with the total lost sets.
If the tie continued, account was taken of the results of the meetings (in order: points, sets, points).
If the tie continued, higher ranked the team with the largest fraction resulting from dividing the total earned points with the total missed points.
If the tie continued, a ranking match was held on a neutral stadium designated by the COPE.

Changes over the period 2010-11
The 2011–12 championship was attended by the second-class team 2010–11, Olympias Frenaru. No Neapolis Olympiad participated who finished in the final position of the league First-class 2010–11 and was demoted to the 2011–12 second-class championship.

In addition, Dionysos Strubiou was not involved in which he had been imposed by the COPE Dispute Resolution Committee a ban on participation in all KOPE events for 2011-12 and for this reason the championship was held with 7 teams.
