The 2011–12 IFA Championship (known as the Belfast Telegraph Championship for sponsorship reasons)〔(BELFAST TELEGRAPH SPONSOR THE IFA CHAMPIONSHIP )〕 was the fourth season since its establishment after a major overhaul of the league system in Northern Ireland. The season began on 6 August 2011, and ended on 1 May 2012. In Championship 1, Ballinamallard United were the champions by 12 points. They achieved promotion to the top flight of Northern Irish football for the first time in their history. Newry City finished as runners-up, but were defeated 3–2 by Lisburn Distillery in the promotion/relegation play-off, losing out on promotion. Glebe Rangers and Banbridge Town finished in the bottom two and were relegated to Championship 2 for next season. In Championship 2, Coagh United were the eventual winners, with Dundela finishing as runners-up. Both achieved promotion to next season's Championship 1. Chimney Corner avoided relegation to a lower tier regional league despite finishing bottom of Championship 2 for the third successive season. This was because none of the four regional league champions applied to enter the Championship.〔(Corner aim to keep ‘Cam’ in relegation struggle )〕 ==Team changes from 2010–11== Carrick Rangers were last season's champions of Championship 1, achieving promotion to the 2011–12 IFA Premiership.
