The 2010–11 UEFA Women's Champions League was the tenth edition of the European women's championship for football clubs. The final was held in London, England on 26 May 2011 at Craven Cottage.
French side Olympique Lyon won the competition after finishing runner-up the previous year. Lyon became the first French team to win the competition.[2]
Team allocation and distribution
On 14 June 2010 UEFA announced the entry list.[3] A total of 51 teams from 43 UEFA associations will participate. This is two less than in 2009–10, as the title holder Turbine Potsdam also qualified through its domestic league, and the winners of the Maltese league were not entered. Countries are allocated places according to their 2009 UEFA league coefficient for women,[4] taking into account performances in women's club competitions between 2004–05 and 2008–09.
Associations 1–8 have two club qualify, the remaining associations have one team. Unlike the men's Champions League, not every association enters a team, and so the exact number of clubs in each round is only known shortly before the draw.
| Teams entering in this round | Teams advancing from previous round | Competition format | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualifying round (28 teams) |
|
7 groups of 4 clubs, hosted by one club, seeded into four pots by UEFA club | |
| Round of 32 (32 teams) |
|
|
Two-legged knockout, seeded by UEFA club coefficient |

Seeding and draw
The draw was held on 23 June 2010. 28 teams enter in the qualifying round, and were divided into seven groups of four teams, with one team from each seeding pot:
|
Pot 1 |

|
Pot 3
|
Pot 4 |
The seven hosts were confirmed by UEFA before the draw, and two hosts could not be placed in the same group. Brøndby, Gintra Universitetas, Krka, Osijek and Apollon Limassol also hosted tournaments last year. The other two hosts from last year (Linköping and Tikvesanka) did not enter the qualifying round this year.
Each team plays the other teams in the group once. The matches were played between 5 and 10 August 2010. Teams in italic hosted a mini-league.
