The 2010–11 A-League season (known as the Hyundai A-League for sponsorship reasons) is the sixth season of the Australian football (soccer) championship since its establishment in 2004. The home and away season began on 5 August 2010 and concluded on 13 February 2011. The addition of Melbourne Heart brought the total number of teams to 11.

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.
