The 2011 Finnish League Cup is the 15th season of the Finnish League Cup, Finland's second-most prestigious cup football tournament. FC Honka are the defending champions, having won their first league cup last year.
The cup consists of two stages. First there will be a group stage that involves the 14 Veikkausliiga teams divided into two groups. The top four teams from each group will enter the one-legged elimination rounds – quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final.
