The 2nd Cyprus women's football category 2011-12 was the 6th edition of the 2nd Cyprus football class. The championship was won by the Youth Association of Agios Athanasios.

Operating system
In the 2011–12 first-class championship, 6 teams participated. It was held in two phases. In the first phase, all teams competed between them twice, once inside and one away.

According to the first phase ranking series the teams gave each other play off matches for the champion's promotion. In the first round of the play off the teams competed as follows: 3rd-6th and 4th-5th. To qualify for the next round one team of each pair had to achieve 3 wins. The first two teams in the first phase score did not participate in the first round of play off, passing directly into the second round.

In round II of the play off (final phase) the 1st team faced the couple's winner 4th-5th and the 2nd team the couple's winner 3rd-6th. To qualify for the next round one team of each pair had to achieve 3 wins.

The winners of the two pairs of the semi-final phase competed with each other to promote the champion. To be declared a champion team had to achieve 3 wins. The two losers competed for winning third place in a single match at the team headquarters that had finished higher in the first phase.

All the rounds measured the wins the teams had achieved in the first phase of the league. The series of matches of each pair began at the team seat which finished higher at the end of the first phase of the league and continued alternately in the seats of the two teams until the completion of the phase. The defeated teams of the first round of the play offs were placed in positions 5–6 of the final rankings maintaining the rankings they had at the end of the first phase of the league.

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

Classification criteria Phase I
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 race was held on a neutral field designated by the Cyprus Football Federation.
