This was the inaugural season of the East Africa Premier League. It was totally dominated by the two Ugandan sides: The and , who took the first two places in the group stage,[3] with the final being contested between the two sides. Heavy rain and showers in Nairobi led to the postponement of both the finals of the Premier League and Cup. After three postponements, the final was contested in late January 2012, which crowned the Nile Knights champions over the Rwenzori Warriors.[4] The inaugural tournament was a success, with both the East African competitions being up and running, according to then Cricket Kenya Chief Executive Tom Sears.
