Main article: 2011–12 European Challenge Cup

The 2011–12 Amlin Challenge Cup pool stage is the ongoing opening stage of this season's European Challenge Cup, the second-tier competition for European rugby union clubs. It began on 10 November 2011 with two matches and will be completed on 22 January 2012.

Twenty teams are participating in this competition; they are divided into five pools of four teams each, with each team playing the others home and away. Competition points are earned using the standard bonus point system. The pool winners will advance to the knockout stage, where they will be joined by three entrants from the Heineken Cup pool stage. These teams will then compete in a single-elimination tournament that will end with the final at the Twickenham Stoop in London on 18 May 2012.
