The 2011 Pacific Games men's football tournament was the 13th edition of Pacific Games men's football tournament. The competition was held in New Caledonia from 27 August to 9 September 2011 with the final played at the Stade Numa-Daly in Nouméa.[1]

Twelve men's teams competed at the Games, with the top five teams advancing to the 2012 Pacific Cup with New Zealand national under-23 football team in February 2012.[2]

The tournament had initially been planned as part of the qualification tournament for the 2012 OFC Nations Cup,[3] and Oceania Football Confederation's (OFC) qualification tournament for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, FIFA announced a revised format for both tournaments in June 2011.[4]

Participants

Format

The 11 teams were drawn or placed into 2 groups. The top 2 teams from the first stage advanced to the semifinal stage. The semifinalists were followed by matches for the Gold Medal (first place) and Bronze Medal (third place).
