The 2011 ANZ Championship season was the fourth season of the ANZ Championship. The 2011 season began on 13 February and concluded on 22 May. With a team coached by Roselee Jencke, captained by Lauren Nourse and featuring Romelda Aiken, Laura Geitz, Clare McMeniman and Natalie Medhurst, Queensland Firebirds finished the season undefeated. They became the first team in the history of the ANZ Championship to go through the regular season and the playoffs without losing a single match. In the major semi-final, Firebirds defeated Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic and in the grand final they defeated Northern Mystics, winning their first premiership.{{cite web|url=http://www.anz-championship.com/matches/past-season_yr_2011.html|title=ANZ Championship - 2011 Season Fixture|publisher=www.anz-championship.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422225442/http://www.anz-championship.com/matches/past-season_yr_2011.html|archive-date=22 April 2021|accessdate=3 March 2021}}{{Cite web|url=https://netball.com.au/sites/default/files/2019-06/Annual-Report-2011.pdf|title=2011 Annual Report – Netball Australia|publisher=netball.com.au|access-date=26 August 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/netball-wp-assets/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2013/09/06203151/2011-Annual-Report.pdf|title=2011 Netball Queensland Annual Report|publisher=Netball Queensland|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201011140521/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/netball-wp-assets/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2013/09/06203151/2011-Annual-Report.pdf|archive-date=11 October 2020|access-date=12 August 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.theroar.com.au/2011/05/23/queensland-firebirds-win-anz-championship/|title=Queensland Firebirds crowned ANZ Champions|publisher=www.theroar.com.au|date=22 May 2011|access-date=7 October 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/new-zealand/the-press/20110522/283493612666439|title=Queensland Firebirds burn Northern Mystics|publisher=www.pressreader.com|work=The Press|date=23 May 2011|access-date=11 October 2020}} This marked the beginning of a golden age for Firebirds.

Regular season
In order to be concluded before the 2011 World Netball Championships, the regular season used a more condensed format. It still featured 65 games, but included several new features including three "double rounds" which featured seven or eight matches, rather than the traditional four or five. The "bye" rounds were dropped and Thursday night matches were introduced for five of the regular rounds.{{Cite web|url=http://www.anz-championship.com/about/competition-format.html|title=Competition Format|publisher=www.anz-championship.com|accessdate=8 March 2021}}
