Honours

Most runs^[1] – William Lambert 51
Most wickets^[1] – Thomas Howard 8

Events

In time for the start of the 1811 season, MCC reluctantly followed Thomas Lord to his new Middle Ground, the lease on the original Lord's Old Ground having expired. MCC were resident at the Middle Ground for the next three years.
Only one first-class match has been recorded as the Napoleonic War took an increasing toll of cricket's manpower and investment:
- 8–9 July — B Aislabie's XI v G Osbaldeston's XI @ Lord's Middle Ground^[2]

Debutants

1811 debutants included:

J. Poulet (MCC)
Andrew Schabner (MCC)
