2011 Australian Football International Cup

The 2011 Australian Football International Cup (also known as the AFL International Cup 2011 or IC11) was the fourth edition of the Australian Football International Cup, an international Australian rules football competition run by the Australian Football League (AFL).

It was contested between 12 and 27 August 2011 by 18 nations, with games played in both Melbourne and Sydney. Two matches were played as curtain raisers to AFL premiership matches, USA vs South Africa at Stadium Australia and the IC Grand Final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Ireland won its second men's championship, and the inaugural women's championship (Ryan Aslett Cup).

On 1 July 2011, the AFL confirmed the 18 men's teams that would participate in the 2011 International Cup:

17 of these clubs represented single nations, and one (the Peres Team for Peace) represented both Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

As well as the above Men's teams, for the first time in the history of the tournament, there was also a Women's competition, with five teams participating:

Before the tournament, the 18 clubs were seeded into six groups of three, ranked based on previous performance in International Cups, or in the case of the newer teams, at the discretion of the AFL:

The first round of matches was played with modified rules, most significantly the reduction of game length to two-quarters, in the same manner as the 2011 NAB Cup.
