Club information

Twenty clubs participated in the 2010–11 season. Chacarita Juniors and Atlético Tucumán were relegated at the end of the 2009–10 season. They were replaced by Olimpo and Quilmes, both of whom were promoted from the Primera B Nacional. Rosario Central and Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP) played in the relegation/promotion playoffs against All Boys and Atlético de Rafaela, respectively, to determine the other two teams for this season. Following those matches, Gimnasia stayed in the Primera División, while Rosario Central was relegated and replaced by All Boys.

During the season, Estudiantes used Estadio Centenario Dr. José Luis Meiszner in Quilmes and Estadio Ciudad de La Plata in La Plata since their home stadium, Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, was undergoing renovations.

Torneo Apertura

The Torneo Apertura 2010 (known as the Torneo IVECO del Bicentenario Apertura 2010 for sponsorship reasons) was the first championship of the season. It began on 6 August and it ended on 6 February 2011.Due to the death of Néstor Kirchner, President of Argentina from 2003–2007, on 27 October, all matches for the following weekend were postponed. This pushed the match schedule for the remainder of the season back a week, changing the end of the tournament from 12 December to 19 December. The schedule was later adjusted again to end on 12 December as planned. Due to Independiente's participation in the 2010 Copa Sudamericana, their match against Tigre was postponed to 6 February 2011.

Playoff for relegation/promotion playoff 1

Since Huracán and Gimnasia (La Plata) finished with the same relegation co-efficient at the dividing line, a one-match playoff was held to determine who had to play in the relegation/promotion playoffs and who had to be directly relegated to the Primera B Nacional. The match was played on 22 June 2011 at Estadio Alberto J. Armando in Buenos Aires. Gimnasia won the match 2–0 and continued to the relegation/promotion playoff against San Martín de San Juan; Huracán was relegated to the Primera B Nacional.

Relegation/promotion playoffs

The 17th and 18th placed teams in the relegation table (River Plate and Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP), respectively) played the 3rd and 4th-place finishers of the 2010–11 Primera B Nacional season (San Martín (SJ) and Belgrano, respectively), the winner of each claiming a spot in the following Primera División season. The Primera División team (Team 1) played the second leg at home. Both San Martín de San Juan and Belgrano defeated their Primera División counterparts—Gimnasia de La Plata and River Plate, respectively—to earn promotion to the Primera División for the 2011–12 season. Of historic note, this is the first time River Plate got relegated to the Primera B Nacional. |- !colspan="5"|Relegation/promotion playoff 1 !colspan="5"|Relegation/promotion playoff 2

International qualification

Copa Libertadores

The 2010 Clausura champion (Argentinos Juniors) and the 2010 Apertura champion (Estudiantes de La Plata) earned a berth to the 2011 Copa Libertadores. Independiente won the 2010 Copa Sudamericana and earned a berth into the competition. The remaining two berths were determined by an aggregate table of the 2010 Clausura and 2010 Apertura tournaments.

Gimnasia de La Plata was ineligible for the competition for having participated in the promotion/relegation playoffs following the 2009–10 season.

Copa Sudamericana

Qualification for the 2011 Copa Sudamericana was determined by an aggregate table of the Apertura 2010 and Clausura 2011 tournaments.
