The inclination of the axis affects seasons (and the amount of light and darkness). In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night are in June. After Summer Solstice, the daylight gradually gets shorter, to the shortest day and longest night in December. In the Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice (and shortest day and longest night) are in June, while the Summer Solstice is in December.
The longest day and shortest night occurs on the summer solstice. The shortest day and longest night occurs on the winter solstice. Midway between these points (2x a year) are the equinox, where the day and night are of equal length.

The first day of summer - on/about June 21 is the longest day and shortest night.
If you mean the longest: When you have the longest day, you'll also have the shortest night, and vice versa. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day is around June 21, and the shortest day is around December 21. In the southern hemisphere, it is the other way round.
