From the 2011–12 season, the two New Zealand clubs will be placed in different groups (in previous tournaments they were placed in the same group) – one will be drawn with the club champions of Fiji, New Caledonia and Tahiti while the other will compete in the second group with the champions of Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.[10]
Again no preliminary tournament for the 2011–12 O-League will be played. Instead, the champion teams from American Samoa, Samoa, Cook Islands and Tonga will take part in a pilot stand-alone tournament. It is proposed that this competition will in future seasons become a preliminary tournament with the winner qualifying to play off for a place in the O-League.[10]

Based on seeding, sporting reasons and travel considerations, the OFC Executive Committee separated the teams into two groups in June 2011.[11] A draw was held at the OFC Headquarters in Auckland on 19 July 2011 to decide the "position" of each team within those groups, which is used to determine the schedule.[12]
In each group, the teams will play each other home-and-away in a round-robin format, with the group winner advancing to the final. If two or more teams are tied on points, the tiebreakers are as follow:[13]
- Goal difference
- Goals scored
- Head-to-head record among teams concerned (points; goal difference; goals scored)
- Fair play record
- Drawing of lots
