The knockout stages from the last 64 to the semi-finals were played in Barnsley on 16 November 2010, and were not broadcast live on TV. The final took place on 3 January 2011, before the final of the 2011 PDC World Darts Championship, which was shown live on Sky Sports. The two finalists became PDC Pro Tour card holders for 2011 and 2012 and received sponsorship from Rileys Dart Zones. They also received invitations to the 2010 Grand Slam of Darts.
Arron Monk defeated Michael van Gerwen 6–4 in the final to win the inaugural PDC World Youth Championship.
