The 2011 Women's European Trophy was the 16th rugby tournament organised by FIRA for the continent's national teams.

The venues were in and around A Coruña in Spain, and the games have been played between 30 April and 7 May.

However, though they were called "France A" the French team were their main squad, while Italy "A" teams included 17 of the 22 players from the squad that beat Scotland in the Six Nations a few weeks before.

England "A" was also a stronger than normal selection - 11 players had full international caps, including six who had played in the 2011 Six Nations.

Some of the largest crowds ever to watch women's rugby in Spain attended the home team's games, rising from 1,500 for their opening fixture to a near capacity 2,500 for the final.
