The 2011 CONCACAF Champions League final was the final of the 2010–11 CONCACAF Champions League, and the third final of the current format of the CONCACAF Champions League. The match was contested in a two-leg aggregate format between April 20–27, 2011.

The winners earned the right to represent CONCACAF at the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the quarterfinal stage.

Background

Mexican side Monterrey is the only team in the tournament that remains undefeated with an accumulated record of 8 victories and 2 draws.

American side Real Salt Lake is the first MLS team to reach the final of the tournament since the 2000 edition, where Los Angeles Galaxy was crowned champion.

The 2011 final was the first Champions League final, under its current format, that did not feature an all-Mexican final. Additionally, this is the first time since 2000 that a U.S. team has made the final.

Rules

Like other match-ups in the knockout round, the teams played two games, one at each team's home stadium. If the teams remained tied after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg, the away goals rule would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.{{Cite web |url=http://www.concacaf.com/staticFiles/e7/52/0,,12813~152295,00.pdf |title=CONCACAF Champions League Regulations 2010/2011 |access-date=2011-10-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110211085702/http://www.concacaf.com/staticFiles/e7/52/0,,12813~152295,00.pdf |archive-date=2011-02-11 |url-status=dead }}
