This tournament was also a qualifier for the 2012 Olympics, with both finalists earning a spot. In the event that England played in the final, the third placed team would have qualified instead, as England cannot qualify as a nation for the olympics (being part of Great Britain).[2]

The Netherlands won the title for the eighth time after defeating Germany 3–0 in the final.[3]
