2011 Crusaders Rugby League season
The 2011 Crusaders Rugby League season was the club's second year in the Super League. Despite going into administration at the end of 2010, the club was readmitted to the Super League for the 2011 season, but was docked four points for breaching insolvency rules. Crusaders struggled throughout the season, and finished bottom of the league.
