The Under-11 TRNC Championship, held on 18 November 2018 and open to athletes born in 2008 or later, began with an opening ceremony at 12.00 and ended with an award ceremony at 16.00. A total of 30 closely fought matches were played across 5 categories. Marko D. Lesinger of NEU won the boys' title and Nehir M. Deniz of NEU the girls' title. Nehir M. Deniz and Emel Özçelik won the women's doubles and Erol Akbulut and Marko D. Lesinger the men's doubles without losing a match. Mert T. Zabit and Dudu D.

Speaking before the award ceremony, Federation President Fırat Deniz thanked all the athletes for their outstanding performance despite their young age, the coaches who trained them and the referees who officiated.
