The 1911 AAA Championship Car season consisted of 21 races, beginning in Oakland, California on February 22 and concluding in Savannah, Georgia on November 30.

The de facto National Champion as polled by the American automobile journal Motor Age, was Harvey Herrick.

Herrick was named the champion by Chris G. Sinsabaugh, an editor at Motor Age, based upon merit and on track performance.

A points table was created retroactively in 1927, naming Ralph Mulford as champion.

At a later point, it was recognized by historians that these championship results should be considered unofficial.
