The 2010–11 season was APOEL's 71st season in the Cypriot First Division and 83rd year in existence as a football club.

The first training session for the season took place on June 14, 2010 at GSP Stadium. On June 20, the team left Cyprus and moved to Obertraun in Austria to perform the main stage of their pre-season training and returned to Cyprus on July 4, 2010.

The team finished 2nd in the Cypriot championship the previous season and as such entered the UEFA Europa League 2010–11 second qualifying round. During the 2010–11 season APOEL reached the Europa League Play-off round being eliminated by Getafe CF 2–1 on aggregate, eliminated in the 2nd round of Cypriot Cup by Apollon 3–1 on aggregate, but finished the season with an emphatic way by winning the Championship four games before the end of the season, creating that day an advantage of 15 points from its main competitor and arch rivals Omonoia.
