The 2010–2011 UCI America Tour was the seventh season for the UCI America Tour. Gregorio Ladino was the defending 2009–2010 UCI America Tour individual points champion. Funvic-Pindamonhangaba captured the 2009–2010 team points championship and Colombia was awarded the 2009–2010 nations points championship.

Throughout the season, points were awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers; the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.

The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

The current individual points leader of the UCI America Tour wears the UCI America Tour cycling jersey to signify to the other riders and spectators that he is the most consistent rider throughout the season. The UCI also maintains a team points competition based on the top finishers for each cycling team and a country points competition based on the riders' nationality.

Miguel Ubeto took the individual ranking, finishing a single point ahead Gregory Panizo. EPM-UNE took the teams classification, with Colombian riders sealing the national competition.
