The 2011 season was the inaugural season of the D.C. United Women.[1] For the 2011 season, D.C. United Women played in the W-League, the second tier of women's professional soccer in the United States and Canada, specifically in the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference.[2]

United began the season on May 25[3] and concluded the regular season on July 10. They won their first match against the New York Magic 3–0 with goals by Christine Nairn and Bri Hovington.[4] The team finished the regular season with a 5-3-2 record, tied on points for second place in the division with the New Jersey Wildcats. However, they lost the tiebreaker on head-to-head competition and therefore fell short of making the W-League playoffs.
