The competition was won by the local team São José for the first time. Two-time champion Santos finished in third place. Caracas' Ysaura Viso won the top-scorer award, having scored nine goals in her team's five matches.[3]
- The tournament was expanded from 10 to 12 teams. This allowed for Santos to enter and be able to defend their title. As well as a local team from the host city to join the competing teams.[4]
The twelve teams are divided in three groups of four. The teams then play each other once. After that the group winners and the best runner-up qualify for the semi-finals. Those as well as the final are single-legged, i.e. no home and away matches.[4]
There have been talks to expand the competition to 12 teams, give one spot to title holders Santos and one spot to the Japanese 2011 L. League champion.[5] Ultimately it was decided to give the twelfth spot to a local team of the host city.[4]

Santos meets São José in the semi-finals.[17] That is contrary to the initial regulations, as only on 14 November 2011, during the tournament, it was decided that if two teams from the same country make the semi-finals they would be paired in the semi-final so there would be no national final.[18]
