The 2010–11 Irish Football League Cup was the 25th season of the Irish League Cup. For this season all matches reverted back to a one-legged basis having previously been two-legged ties up until the semi-final stage. The competition was also opened up to include more clubs. It was contested by the 12 members of the IFA Premiership, as well as the 14 members of IFA Championship 1 and for the first time, the 16 members of IFA Championship 2 (the third tier). Glentoran were the defending champions.
Lisburn Distillery were the eventual winners, winning the competition for the first time with a 2–1 victory over Portadown in the final.[1]
