The 2011 Eurocup Clio season marked the debut of the Renault-backed single-make touring car championship, integrated within the World Series by Renault, featuring competition with Renault Clio RS 197 cars. This series replaced the 2010 French F4 Championship.

French racer Nicolas Milan dominated throughout the year, achieving five victories alongside three runner-up finishes. He clinched the title decisively, finishing 72 points ahead of Dutch competitor Mike Verschuur, who himself maintained a 51-point margin over third-place driver Massimiliano Pedalà.

Multiple teams participated in the competition; however, no official team championship was presented.

Sporting

The scoring system followed the FIA World Championship model: points were allocated to the top ten drivers in each race as follows—25 for first place, then 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and finally 1 point for tenth.

Race calendar and results

The schedule for the 2011 season was released on 11 October 2010. Each of the four rounds took place alongside events in the 2011 World Series by Renault.
