The 2012 EMU Championships, commonly referred to as EMU 2012, was the fourth tournament of the EMU Championships, and was held in Mercury between 13 August and 25 August 2012. The twelve competing national teams all qualified successfully to be involved. The tournament's matches were played in eight stadiums in five different cities around Mercury.
The tournament was won by Hamland, for their first ever title, who beat hosts Mercury in the final in Mercury.
Hosts
Mercury was chosen as the hosts of the tournament after submitting one of two applications.
