Zwolle 4–5 Venlo 2015–16 Eredivisie

The 2011–12 Eredivisie Vrouwen was the fifth season of the Netherlands women's professional football league. After a troubled build-up, the season took place from 2 September 2011 to 18 May 2012 with seven teams.

Before the start of the season, on 30 August 2011, the BeNe Super Cup was played, a match where the Dutch champion FC Twente met Belgian champion Standard Liège. Twente lost the match 4–1. In the run up to the match, a memorandum was signed by the Dutch and Belgian football associations to create a two-country top-level league, the BeNe League, that could start as soon as the 2012–13 season.

FC Twente entered the season as reigning champions and finished as runners-up, behind ADO Den Haag. It was ADO Den Haag's first championship after finishing runners-up in the previous three seasons. The 63 matches of the season had a 44,607 total attendance.

Build-up

On 22 February 2011, leaders from the Eredivisie, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the clubs met to discuss possible improvement to the league. The KNVB then announced that the league's matchdays would move from Thursdays to Fridays, relationship changes between clubs and their affiliated amateur clubs, guideline principles amongst other topics discussed, and the financial conditions were to be discussed on a further meeting, as the KNVB was trying to keep the league with eight teams. The same day following the meeting, three-time league champions AZ announced its withdraw from the league. The following day, Willem II announced it was also withdrawing from the league. Both clubs claimed financial issues for their decision. PSV Eindhoven, working to build a women's team, confirmed on 3 March 2011 it would not be able to participate in this season.

Two other clubs indicated they would fold, before changing course. On 8 March 2011, FC Utrecht also announced its withdraw due to financial reasons, but on 6 April 2011 reversed its withdraw and confirmed it had secured finances for the season. On 14 April 2011, SC Heerenveen announced its withdraw due to financial issues. Two weeks later, on 26 April 2011, as the club continued working to find sponsors to remain in the league, RBC Roosendaal presented a possibility of entering a team if its male team remained in Jupiler League. The KNVB extension of clubs' registration deadline allowed SC Heerenveen to secure funds needed to play the season and on 28 April 2011 the club confirmed its participation. On 27 May 2011, SC Telstar was confirmed as the seventh team for the season.

Teams

AZ and Willem II withdrew from the league at the conclusion of the previous season. On 27 May 2011, Telstar announced it would join the league, becoming the seventh team for the season.
