Ulster Rapidplay Championship prizewinners

Since the move of the Ulster Championship proper to a warmer time of year in 2005, the rapidplay version has been habitually held over the holiday season. This season the event was held on the 2nd January 2011 at its usual venue, the Belfast Boat Club.

There were six rounds, with players having 30 minutes each per game.

John Cairns had finished tied first on three occasions previously in this event, but this time he was the undisputed winner.
