Playoffs
The 1911 playoff format stipulated that, as in the previous year, the first and second in the table competed against each other in the final. However, should the table runner-up win, the top of the table would have the right to request a replay to take place a week later. However, since the Eastern Suburbs and South Sydney were tied, there was an elimination game first, who would play against the table top Glebe.
