26 March 2011 – By a score of 2–1, 1. FFC Frankfurt defeat league champions Turbine Potsdam in the final of the Women's DFB-Pokal. This is the eight time Frankfurt have won the cup, and marks their first title of any kind in three years.[32]

25 April 2011 – With three more matches to be played, Hertha BSC secure promotion to the Bundesliga following a 1–0 victory over MSV Duisburg. Relegated from the Bundesliga the previous season, Hertha had been leading the 2. Bundesliga since January.[35]
