President's Cup
| runner-up =
At the 2011 league AGM, the 2011–12 Northern Premier League President's Cup, the cup competition of the Northern Premier League Division One North and South, was deferred for at least one year due to fixture congestion and clubs making losses from the games. It was decided to award the trophy to the team that tops the fair play league at the end of the season instead.
