The 2011 Dr McKenna Cup was a Gaelic football competition played under the auspices of Ulster GAA. The tournament was won by Derry, their first McKenna title in 12 years. They defeated Tyrone in the final.[1] The final was postponed due to the death of Tyrone manager Mickey Harte's brother Paddy Harte.[2] The competition was also affected by the murder of Michaela McAreavey, Harte's daughter, on her honeymoon in Mauritius.[3][4]
