The 2010–11 Cypriot First Division was the 73rd season of the Cypriot top-level football league. It began on 27 August 2010 with the first matches of the first round and will end in May 2011 with the last matches of the second round. The defending champions were Omonia. APOEL won the championship four matchweeks before the end of the season.
Fourteen teams participate in the competition. Eleven of them have also competed in the 2009–10 season while the remaining three teams were promoted from the Second Division.
Each team plays against every other team twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 26 matches. After these matches, the two teams with the worst records will be relegated to the Second Division. The remaining twelve teams will be divided into three groups of four teams each.
The teams ranked first through fourth will play for the championship and to participate in the European competitions. Teams ranked ninth through 12th will determine the third relegated club, while the remaining four teams will play a placement round. Every team plays twice against its group opponents. Regular season records are carried over without any modifications.
Nea Salamis Famagusta and APEP Pitsilia were relegated at the end of the first stage of the 2009–10 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the table. They were joined by Aris Limassol, who finished at the bottom of the second-phase Group C.
The relegated teams were replaced by 2009–10 Second Division champions Alki Larnaca, runners-up AEK Larnaca and third-placed team Olympiakos Nicosia.
