The 2011 Northern Ireland Milk Cup is the twenty-ninth edition of the international football tournament which takes place annually in the north coast of Northern Ireland, and attracts competitors from across the globe.
The top two teams in the table after the group stage compete in the final on Friday evening, with the remaining teams playing off for final standings earlier that day.
The remainder of the teams qualify for lower-level cups (namely the Milk Globe, Vase, Bowl and Plate) that run alongside the Milk Cup based on their final league position, with semi-finals on Thursday, and the finals and play-off matches on Friday.
Clubs and national teams from anywhere in the world may compete on invitation, and five continents will be represented - Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia.
The tournament is also continuing its tradition of allowing the host nation's youth to play against top opposition through six select teams from each county of Northern Ireland Download coordinates as: Teams ranked 1–4 qualify for Milk Cup Semi-FinalsTeams ranked 5–8 qualify for NIMC Globe Semi-FinalsTeams ranked 9–12 qualify for NIMC Vase Semi-FinalsTeams ranked 13–16 qualify for NIMC Bowl Semi-FinalsTeams ranked 17–20 qualify for NIMC Plate Semi-Finals
