The 1971–72 South Pacific cyclone season, unlike the previous two, was an average season, featuring eleven tropical disturbances, eleven tropical cyclones, and six severe tropical cyclones. The season began only four days after the official start, November 1, and ended very late, on June 5, more than a month after the official end of the season, April 30.
