The 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship was the third World Indoor Lacrosse Championship, an international box lacrosse tournament organized by the Federation of International Lacrosse every four years.[1] It took place between 21 and 28 May 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic at the 4,900 seat Eden Arena, an Olympic-sized rink.[2][3] The Canadian team was the defending champion and for the third time defeated the Iroquois Nationals in the finals, 13–6.[4] The United States defeated the host Czech Republic 16–7 in the bronze medal game.[5]

## Pool play[edit]

Eight participating teams were placed in two pools. After playing a round-robin, the first place team in each pool advanced to the semi-finals, the second and third placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals, and the fourth place teams advanced to the 7th place games.

Canada cruised through pool play with three easy victories. The Iroquois Nationals beat Ireland and the host Czech Republic by wide margins, but just edged the United States 11–10.[3]
