1910–11 Birmingham F.C. season

The 1910–11 Football League season was Birmingham Football Club's 19th in the Football League and their 11th in the Second Division. Having finished bottom of the league in 1909–10, they had to apply for re-election to the League for 1910–11. They led the voting, ahead of Huddersfield Town who were elected to the league to replace Grimsby Town,^[1] who had finished the 1909–10 season in 19th place, above Birmingham. Alex Watson stepped down as secretary-manager at the end of that season, and was succeeded by Bob McRoberts, who had played as a forward for the club for seven years. McRoberts was the club's first full-time manager, with no secretarial duties, and led the team to a 16th-place finish in the 20-team division. They also took part in the 1910–11 FA Cup, entering at the first round proper and losing in that round to Oldham Athletic after a replay.

Twenty-nine players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were fourteen different goalscorers. Half-back Thomas Daykin played in 37 matches over the 40-match season; only two other players reached 30 appearances. Jack Hall was leading scorer with 13 goals, of 14 which came in the league.
