The 2011 Heartland Championship was the sixth edition of the Heartland Championship, New Zealand's provincial rugby union competition, since it was reorganised in 2006. The teams represented the 12 amateur rugby unions.
For 2011, the competition did away with the two-round system of previous years. The tournament's round robin stage saw the 12 teams play 8 games. The top four teams in the table at the end of the 8 weeks played off for the Meads Cup while the next four teams contested the Lochore Cup.
The winner of the Meads Cup received automatic promotion to the Championship, replacing the seventh-placed team in the Championship, which was relegated to the Heartland Championship.
