The 1911 Adelaide Carnival was the second edition of the Australasian Football Carnival, an Australian football interstate competition. It took place from 2 to 12 August at Adelaide Oval.
A crowd of 20,000 witnessed South Australia convincingly defeat Victoria in the final to win the championship.
Home state South Australia was joined by teams representing Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales. Two teams which had competed in the 1908 Melbourne Carnival – Queensland and New Zealand – did not send teams in 1911.
The five teams competed in a single division, each playing the others once. The state with the best record from those games would win the tournament; or, if two teams shared the best record, a final would have been staged. All games were played at Adelaide Oval.[1]
The carnival made a small profit, taking £1,100 at the gate across six days of play, compared with the visiting teams' expenses of £1,025.
