The 2011 Women's U25 Wheelchair Basketball World Championship was held at the Walker Complex at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, from 15 to 21 July 2011. It was the first ever wheelchair basketball world championship for women in the under-25 age category. The event was run by Wheelchair Basketball Canada in partnership with Brock University. Eight nations competed: Australia, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Mexico, South Africa and the United States. The event took the form of a round-robin tournament, with each team playing all the other teams once. The top eight teams then went into quarter-finals, while the bottom two played each other for world ranking. The winners of the semi-finals faced each other in the final, while the losers played for bronze. The championship was won by the United States; Australia came second and Great Britain third.
