4 June 2011 34 (total) | finals_runner-up = ITA Pro Recco The 2010–11 LEN Euroleague was the highest-level competition in men's European club water polo. It involved the champions and other top teams from European national leagues and ran from September 2010 to May 2011. The Final Four (semifinals, final, and third place game) took place on 3–4 June at Foro Italico, Rome.

Allocation by federation

Water polo federations are allocated places in accordance with their performances in the preliminary round (group stage) of the 2009–10 LEN Euroleague:

Seeded Federations ranked 1–8 in a ranking of the best-placed team from each federation in the preliminary round of the previous year's competition have three teams qualify. In 2009/10, the preliminary round had exactly eight federations represented: Croatia, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, and Spain
All other federations have two teams qualify and are unseeded

Federations do not have to enter their top two teams into the Euroleague. If they do not think their clubs can be competitive, they can enter teams into the second-tier LEN Cup.

Format and Distribution
