Notes

1. M.B./Colégio 7 Fontes withdrew from the Handball Championship 1 2010/11, three days before the end of the Regular Phase. As a result, wins were awarded to Águas Santas, FC Porto and Belenenses. The club was relegated to Division II, due to his withdrawal from the Handball Championship 1 2010/11. As such, only the last classified from Group B descends to Division II, instead of the usual two.
2. Once ABC rejected the invitation to compete in the 2011/12 EHF Challenge Cup, Águas Santas took the spot.
