The 2010–11 A-League was the sixth season of the Australian A-League soccer competition since its establishment in 2004. The home and away season began on 5 August 2010 and concluded on 13 February 2011. The addition of Template:ALeague MH brought the total number of teams to 11. Template:ALeague BR finished Premiers with two games remaining in the season following an Australian record unbeaten run, and later completed the Premiership and Championship double by beating the Template:ALeague CCM in the Grand Final.

Rule changes

A new rule at the start of the season allows for two marquee players to be signed without salary cap restraints so long as one is Australian with certain amount of qualifications to be determined by FFA. This replaces the previous ruling of only one salary cap exempt player in previous seasons.
