The inaugural edition of the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy took place from Saturday, September 3 until Sunday September 11, 2011 in Ordos City, China. Top Six teams (India, Korea, Pakistan, China, Malaysia and Japan) from Asian Games 2010 participated in the tournament which involved round-robin league among all teams followed by play-offs for final positions. The tournament was combined with the 2nd Women's Asian Champions Trophy.

The tie-breaker was a one on one between the striker and the goalkeeper. The striker had to start from the 23 meter line and was given only eight seconds to score. This way of tie-breaker was used as part of a testing phase by FIH.

India won the tournament after defeating Pakistan in the final. The Indians won 4-2 in a penalty shootout after regulation and extra time ended scoreless, and became the first champion of the tournament.
