Widnes St Maries resigned from the league mid-season; their record was expunged.

Division Two
Division Two featured four new clubs:
 * Heworth, relegated from 2009 to 2010 RLC Division One
 * West Bowling, relegated from 2009 to 2010 RLC Division One
 * Hunslet Warriors, elected into league
 * Elland, elected into league

West Bowling were forced to withdraw at the end of the season due to the league being switched to a summer competition and their pitch not being available during the cricket season.

2011 transitional season
Between August 2011 and November 2011, a short transitional season was played in preparation for the switch to a summer competition in 2012. Two new teams, Askam and Widnes West Bank, joined the competition, increasing the number of teams to 40. The league was split into eight groups of five teams based in geographical location (due to the subsequent withdrawal of West Bowling, Group G only consisted of four teams). The play-offs were contested by the eight group winners. The league champions were Hunslet Warriors, who defeated Wigan St Patricks 18–14 in the play-off final after extra time.
