Main article: 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup qualification
2011 NPSL U.S. Open Cup Qualifying determined the four NPSL qualifiers for the 2011 U.S. Open Cup. In contrast to prior years, where NPSL teams had to qualify for the U.S. Open Cup through the USASA Regional tournaments, the NPSL was awarded four entries to the 2011 U.S. Open Cup. The NPSL elected to give one berth to each of its four divisions.
Northeast Division
The Northeast Division representative was determined by a three-team tournament played on May 7 and May 27, 2011. Brooklyn Italians qualify. |RD2-seed1 = |RD2-team1 = Brooklyn Italians |RD2-score1 = 2 |RD1-seed1 = |RD1-team1 = FC Buffalo |RD1-score1 = 0 |RD2-seed2 = |RD2-team2 = FC Sonic Lehigh Valley |RD2-score2 = 1 |RD1-seed2 = |RD1-team2 = Brooklyn Italians |RD1-score2 = 1 }}
Southeast Division
The Southeast Division's qualifier was determined in a six-team tournament held at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on May 27–29, 2011. Chattanooga FC qualify.
May 27, 2011 May 28, 2011 May 29, 2011 | RD1-team1=Jacksonville United | RD1-score1=1 | RD1-team2=Knoxville Force | RD1-score2=0 | RD1-team3=FC Tulsa | RD1-score3=1 | RD1-team4=Rocket City United | RD1-score4=7 | RD2-team1=Jacksonville United | RD2-score1=1 | RD2-team2=Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves | RD2-score2=3 | RD2-team3=Rocket City United | RD2-score3=0 | RD2-team4=Chattanooga FC | RD2-score4=2 | RD3-team1=Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves | RD3-score1=0 | RD3-team2=Chattanooga FC | RD3-score2=1 Nkurunungi Nunez Morgan Duque Ochieng
Midwest Division
The Midwest Division slot was automatically awarded to the Madison 56ers. The 56ers earned the bid as 2010 U.S. Open Cup division qualifying champions, as well as the fact none of the other divisional rivals had expressed interest in a qualifying tournament.
West Division
The West Division representative was awarded to the club with the highest point total after its first seven league matches. The berth was clinched by the Hollywood United Hitmen after the San Diego Flash had two games forfeited by the NPSL for the use of an illegal player.
