The 2011 edition of the Belau Games was the first in which football was played. The tournament ran from 17 to 18 July 2011 and featured four teams from Palau. The teams that entered were not actual football clubs from Palau, but were instead teams representing four of the sixteen states of Palau.

The tournament featured a group stage which would determine which teams played each other in the semi-finals.

Ngeremlengui were the eventual winners, beating Airai 6-0 in the Gold-medal match.
