2011–12 LV Cup
The 2011–12 LV Cup was the 41st season of England's national rugby union cup competition, and the seventh to follow the Anglo-Welsh format.
The competition consisted of the four Welsh Pro12 teams and the 12 English Premiership clubs arranged into pools consisting of three English and one Welsh team. Teams were guaranteed two home and two away pool matches, with teams in Pools 1 and 4 playing each other and teams in Pools 2 and 3 playing each other, with the top team from each pool qualifying for the semi-finals. The competition took place during the autumn soon after the World Cup and on international fixture dates during the Six Nations, thus allowing teams to develop their squad players.
The defending champions were Gloucester, who this season failed to progress from the pool stage.
