The 2011 Down Senior Football Championship was the 103rd official edition of Down GAA's premier Gaelic Football tournament for senior clubs in County Down. 17 teams competed with the winner representing Down in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship.
This was the final season in which a straight knockout format was used.
Also, this was the only time, as of 2026, that an amalgamation team has been entered into the competition. A team made up of Ardglass, Saul and Kilclief played under the banner of ASK Lecale.
St Mary's Burren were the holders after defeating Bryansford in the 2010 final.
Controversy During the draw made on 24 May 2011 for the preliminary and first round, ASK Lecale were placed automatically into the preliminary round and were drawn to play Saval. The draw proceeded to the end where it was discovered the ball for Tullylish had not been entered into the draw, rendering it null & void. A redraw was carried out on 6 June, pairing the amalgamated team with Longstone.
Preliminary Round Due to the inclusion of amalgamated side ASK Lecale, a preliminary round was required. An open draw determined their opponents.
Round 1 The 16 remaining teams were placed into an open draw. Winning sides move to the quarter finals while losing sides were eliminated from the competition.
Quarter Final The Quarter Final sees the first round winners play each other for a semi final spot. An open draw was used for these ties.
Semi Final The Semi Final will see the four winning sides face off for a place in this year's final. This round is an open draw from the four Quarter Final winners.
Final The final was played between the two Semi Final winners, and took place at Páirc Esler, Newry.
