Pool play

Eight participating teams were placed in two pools. After playing a round-robin, the first place team in each pool advanced to the semi-finals, the second and third placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals, and the fourth place teams advanced to the 7th place games.

Canada cruised through pool play with three easy victories. The Iroquois Nationals beat Ireland and the host Czech Republic by wide margins, but just edged the United States 11–10.{{cite news |url= https://sports.yahoo.com/top/blog/canada/post/Canada-dominates-as-World-Indoor-Lacrosse-Champi?urn=top-357071 |title= Canada dominates as World Indoor Lacrosse Championship finds its way |first=Andrew |last=McKay |work= Yahoo Sports |date=May 24, 2011}}
