The 2011–12 FAI U19 League (full name: 2011-12 Dr Tony O'Neill FAI National Under-19 League) took place between 28 August 2011 and 29 April 2012.[1][2] On 5 December 2012, Airtricity extended their League of Ireland sponsorship to the Under-19 league, so it was known as the Airtricity Under-19 League for sponsorship reasons.[3]

In addition to the league, a cup competition was also played between the member clubs. This cup competition (full name: 2012 Enda McGuill Memorial Cup) was called the 2012 Airtricity U-19 National Cup for sponsorship reasons.
