Format change
The format of the 2011 championship was slightly altered due to a decrease in the number of divisional teams taking part. Carrigdhoun, Carbery and Seandún declined to field teams in the championship. The four remaining divisional teams competed in a preliminary round robin, with the top two teams qualifying to meet the two college teams for a place in the championship proper.
