Format

Fourteen teams participated in the 2011–12 Cypriot Third Division. All teams played against each other twice, once at their home and once away. The team with the most points at the end of the season crowned champions. The first three teams were promoted to the 2012–13 Cypriot Second Division and the last three teams were relegated to the 2012–13 Cypriot Fourth Division.

However, in the summer, because APOP Kinyras (which would participate in the 2012–13 Cypriot Third Division) was relegated to the 2012–13 Cypriot Fourth Division after FIFA's decision, the 12th placed team Achyronas Liopetriou played a single relegation playoff match against the 4th placed team of the 2011–12 Cypriot Fourth Division, P.O. Xylotymvou for a place in the 2012–13 Cypriot Third Division.

Point system

Teams received three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss.
