The2010–11Liga I was the ninety-third season of the top-levelfootball league ofRomania. The season commenced on 23 July 2010 and ended on 21 May 2011.[1] A winter break where no matches were played was held between 11 December 2010 and 18 February 2011. A total of eighteen teams participated in the league, whereCFR Cluj were the defending champions.
Politehnica Iași,Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț andUnirea Alba Iulia were relegated toLiga II after finishing the2009–10 season in the bottom three places. Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and Unirea Alba Iulia made their immediate return to the second level, while Politehnica Iași ended a six-year tenure in the highest football league of Romania. 15th-placed teamPandurii Târgu Jiu, who originally were to be relegated as well, were allowed to remain in Liga I afterInternațional Curtea de Argeș withdrew from the league because of financial reasons.[2] Internațional thus returned to Liga II after having been promoted the previous season.
