The 2010–11 Liga II was the 71st season of the second tier of the Romanian football league system. The season started on 28 August 2010 and ended on 4 June 2011.[1] [2]
FRF approved the new system with two divisions of 16 teams each,[3] compared to the divisions of 18 teams used last season, thus coming back to the system that was used in the 1953 season, between the 1968–69 season and the 1972–73 season, in the 2001–02 season and in the 2002–03 season. At the end of the season, the top two teams of the series promoted to Liga I and the bottom three places from both series relegated to Liga III.[4] [5]

Internațional Curtea de Argeș withdrew from Liga I at the end of the season and was relegated directly in the Liga IV. Mureșul Deva was spared from relegation.
FC Politehnica Iași (1945) was dissolved after relegation from Liga I. A successor team was founded by the merge of Navobi Iași and Tricolorul Breaza and enrolled directly in the second league, due to the vacant place left by Baia Mare. The new team was named ACSMU Politehnica Iași.
Săgeata Stejaru left its second league licence to the newly formed Săgeata Năvodari. The new entity was founded by the former owners of Săgeata Stejaru, team which was subsequently enrolled in the lower leagues.
Dunărea Giurgiu signed a partnership with Liga I side Astra Ploiești and started to be its second squad. Dunărea Giurgiu was renamed as Astra II Giurgiu.
Dacia Mioveni ended its sponsorship contract with Automobile Dacia and was renamed as CS Mioveni.
