The 2010–11 RFU Championship was the 2nd season (of the professionalised format) of the second division of the English domestic rugby union competitions, played between August 2010 and May 2011. New teams to the division included Worcester Warriors who were relegated from the Guinness Premiership 2009-10 and Esher who were promoted from the 2009–10 National League 1.[1][2] The league maintained the three stage system with the league including promotion/relegation pools and playoffs to determine the champion and promoted team.
Worcester Warriors topped the regular season league table, their play-off group table and then won the Championship after they defeated Cornish Pirates over two legs in the Championship final at Sixways Stadium (46-32) on 18 May 2011 to make an instant return to the Premiership.[3] Birmingham & Solihull were relegated to the 2011–12 National League 1 at the end of this season.[4]
