The FIRA-AER 2010/2011 U20s championship is played in two parts. Firstly there were 4 regional tournaments held between 24.08.2010 and 19.09.2010. The winners then play each other in a final tournament on 9/14.11.2010 in Esztergom (HUN).

Switzerland took part during the period 31.08/2010 to 05.09.2010 in the Groupe B tournament at Loznica (SRB). This turned out to be an amazingly successful compaign with Switzerland running up 114 points and only conceding 10 in 4 matches played at the expense of the Serbs and the Bulgarians.
