The 2011 Copa do Brasil (officially known as the 2011 Copa Kia do Brasil for sponsorship reasons) was the 23rd edition of the Copa do Brasil, Brazil's national football cup tournament. It began on February 16 and ended on June 8. This edition's champion was Vasco da Gama, with Coritiba ending as runners-up.
The competition is a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team wins the first match by 2 or more goals, the winner advances to the next round and the second leg will not be played. The away goals rule will be used. The winner qualifies to the 2012 Copa Libertadores.
Sixty-four teams qualified to the 2011 Copa do Brasil either through their states championship or through a ranking of teams.
Fifty-four teams qualified via their respective state competitions. Depending on their status with the Brazilian Football Confederation, each of the 27 state federations sent anywhere from one to three clubs. Each state determined their own qualification criteria, but they usually sent the clubs with best records in the state championships or other special competitions.
Ten clubs qualified as one of the top ten clubs in CBF's club ranking, excluding those qualified by state competitions and clubs playing in the 2011 Copa Libertadores.
