In its fifth year under head coach Timothy F. Larkin, the team compiled a 4–5 record. William Joy was the team captain.[1]

Though both Holy Cross and Dartmouth record their 1911 meeting in Hanover as a 6–0 win for the home team, officials on the field ruled it a 1–0 forfeit, as the Holy Cross team left the stadium after three quarters of play, reportedly to catch a train. Dartmouth 6, Holy Cross 0, was the score at the time of the forfeit.[2]

The season-ending home game against crosstown rival Worcester Polytechnic Institute was postponed a week because of flooding on Holy Cross' home field.[3] When the game was finally played November 25, about 4,000 people attended.[4]

Holy Cross played its home games at Fitton Field on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.
