[1][2] The Golden Boot was won by Raymond Gunemba of Hekari, while Emmanuel Simon of Besta PNG United was the Player of the Season for the third straight year.
With the seven clubs confirmed by the end of August,[3] the season kicked off on 15 October 2011, with Hekari United securing a comfortable 3–0 victory over the reformed Central Coast in Port Moresby, but it was Eastern Stars who went top of the league with a 7–0 thrashing of Petro Souths.
Hekari continued to dominate after the Christmas period, and a 3–0 victory over then-second Besta PNG United on 4 February 2012 saw them increase their lead to eight points ahead of the U–20 side.
[14] However, eventually, the remaining fixtures were discarded, and Hekari, Eastern Stars, Besta PNG and Tukoko University – for unknown reasons, qualifying ahead of Central Coast – making the playoffs.
[15] In the third-place playoff, Besta defeated Tukoko on penalties, while Hekari claimed their sixth straight title with a 3–0 win over Eastern Stars.
