The 2011 O'Byrne Cup is a gaelic football competition played by the teams of Leinster GAA. The competition differs from the Leinster Senior Football Championship as it also features further education colleges and the winning team does not progress to another tournament at All-Ireland level. Last years winners of the O'Byrne Cup were DCU. The O'Byrne Cup began on the 9th of January 2011.
