The Netherlands won the tournament for the sixth time after defeating Argentina 3–2 in the final on a penalty shoot-out after a 3–3 draw, tying the record previously set by Australia in 2003 of six titles won. New Zealand won the third place match by defeating Korea 3–2 to claim their first ever Champions Trophy medal.^[1]

After the preliminaries were over, the final originally was scheduled to be played between the Netherlands and Korea, but the Argentine side protested against the second round standing in which they were ranked third behind Korea based on goals scored in that round. After a second appeal by the Argentine team, the final day schedule was changed, since the regulations stated that in case of a draw in points in the second round, the total points in the tournament should be the next tie-breaker.^[2]

Format

A new format was used for the 2011 tournament, with eight teams participating instead of the traditional six. All temas are split in two groups (pools A and B) and play a round robin. The top two teams advance to Pool C and play for the medals, the bottom two teams play in Pool D for fifth to eighth place. For this second round, points for the game with the advancing team from the same preliminary group are carried over and two games are played against teams from the other group. In the final classification games, the two top teams from Group C play for gold, the third and fourth team for bronze. The two top teams from Group D play for fifth and sixth place, while the third and fourth team of Group D play for seventh and eighth Place.
