Manager’s Letter

Fellow Shareholders

Global stock markets offered good returns over the past six months and year, although stock prices saw large fluctuations and returns were boosted significantly by a declining U.S. dollar. Developed economies around the world continued to struggle with the aftershocks of the recent financial crisis. Most notably, deepening concerns last April about Greece’s dire fiscal condition sparked worries about the stability of the euro and the ability of some other countries in Europe to deal with heavy sovereign debt loads. Investors were able to look past these concerns, however, thanks both to aggressive government stimulus measures in Europe and elsewhere and signs of continuing strong growth in emerging markets. In this environment, your fund recorded good gains and outpaced its benchmark and peers in both periods.

Your fund returned 7.33% and 12.29% during the 6- and 12-month periods ended October 31, 2010, respectively. Fund results for both periods compared favorably with those of the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value Funds Average, as shown in the Performance Comparison table. (Results for the Advisor and R Class shares were slightly lower, reflecting their higher expense ratios.)


As we discussed in our last letter, I have recently taken over lead management responsibilities for the fund. I would like to reiterate that we will continue to follow the same investing principles that were established when the fund was created in 1998. The fund will continue to seek long-term appreciation by building a diversified portfolio of established, large-capitalization, non-U.S. companies with prospects for capital appreciation and growing dividend payments. Although the fund focuses primarily in developed market countries, it will also maintain exposure to emerging markets. Our investment process is built upon fundamental research that can identify undervalued companies with good prospects for appreciation. Our research staff will also look for opportunities where there is earnings growth potential and catalysts that help realize value. Finally, the fund’s country and sector allocations are driven primarily by bottom-up stock selection but also are influenced by an assessment of fundamental macroeconomic prospects.

MARKET REVIEW

Having fallen sharply early in the period as a result of the Greek debt crisis, European stocks rebounded and handily outstripped U.S. and Asian markets over the past six months. In mid-May, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund unveiled a nearly $1 trillion bailout plan to ease concerns about the weakest economies in Europe. While the debt crisis simmered, a weakened euro helped exporting countries. Germany and several Nordic markets performed particularly well. Later in the period, a sharp rise in the euro and other European currencies boosted European market returns in U.S dollar terms.


While the falling U.S. dollar also boosted Asian returns for U.S. investors, returns in the region’s developed markets were muted, due in part to the same currency dynamics. Shares of Asian exporters, particularly in Japan, suffered from concerns that strengthening currencies would make their goods more expensive in overseas markets. The explosive growth of the Chinese economy continued to dominate sentiment about developed markets elsewhere in the region. Australia and other markets that depend on the export of commodities to China experienced volatility as investors worried whether the Chinese government would clamp down on growth to prevent the country’s property market from overheating.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGY

The fund enjoyed good returns from a wide range of its holdings over the past six months and year. On a sector basis, industrials and business services holdings were particularly strong in both periods, thanks largely to strong demand in fast-growing emerging markets. Consumer discretionary and telecommunication services holdings also fared well. Conversely, energy holdings performed poorly for the fund, due in part to concerns about the consequences of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. On a regional basis, European holdings performed best for the fund, while Japanese shares lagged.


While the fund has only modest exposure to companies based in emerging markets, it includes many firms that benefit from growth in developing economies and increasing world trade. One of our leading performers over the past year was Finland-based Cargotec, a provider of cargo and load-handling technology and services. The company has benefited from a simplified structure and improved profitability. Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa, an industrial conglomerate that provides port operations and other services, performed well. The company rebounded from a very low valuation as results from its 3G mobile business in Europe began to improve. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a detailed list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

The auto sector was one of the biggest beneficiaries of developed market stimulus programs and global economic recovery, and automakers were among your fund’s best performers. We saw good results from Germany’s BMW, and we made what turned out to be a well-timed purchase of France’s Peugeot, which was valued attractively due in part to concerns about a new management team. Honda Motor stood out among generally weak Japanese shares and also performed well. Swedish firm Autoliv, a manufacturer of automotive safety components, also performed well as the company shifted operations to lower-cost areas.


Other leading contributors over the past six and 12 months came from a range of industries and regions. Telecommunication services holdings were generally good performers for the fund. U.K.-based Vodafone contributed the most to our results over the past six months, and Spanish firm Telefonica was also very strong. Swiss consumer staples giant Nestle and pharmaceuticals firm Novartis were very good performers, as was Australian mining firm Rio Tinto. Over the past year, we saw superior results from French retailer PPR and German chemical firm BASF.

Our disappointments over the past year were clustered mainly in the energy sector. It will come as little surprise that one of our worst performers was BP, which lost over half its value in the initial period following the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We have maintained our position in the company, which boasts a strong and undervalued asset base. Deepwater drilling will be moderately more expensive due to new regulations but will still be necessary and highly profitable. We believe the spill stemmed from multiple companies making multiple mistakes, and the stock should continue to recover as the furor over the spill recedes. Conversely, we sold another poor performer in the sector, Norway’s Statoil, where fundamentals appear to be weakening as production matures and declines in the company’s heartland basins. Royal Dutch Shell defied the general downdraft in the sector and offered us good results as a new management appeared to have success in turning around the company’s fortunes.


Regulatory concerns also hindered the financials sector. One of our worst performers over the past year was British commercial bank Barclays. Investors have worried that Barclays’ profitability will suffer from higher capital requirements and other regulations. We find that markets tend to exaggerate such external threats and thereby undervalue the long-term profitability of firms such as Barclays. We have maintained our position in Barclays, and we added a position in capital markets firm Credit Suisse, which also has been bid lower due to regulatory concerns but remains a strong business long term. Strong results from Sweden’s Swedbank helped offset our disappointments in the financials sector, particularly over the past six months.

Our purchases and sales over the past year followed our usual pattern, often involving trading out of one position and reinvesting the proceeds in a more attractively valued competitor. For example, we sold our position in poorly performing Toyota Motor and reinvested the proceeds in Nissan Motor. In the media sector, we traded out of Finland’s Sanoma and into France’s Publicis.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

The global economy is recovering, but the residual effects of the financial crisis are likely to be with us for some time. The debt crisis continues to weigh heavily on Europe and other developed markets. In just the last several weeks, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal reported renewed concerns about their ability to meet deficit targets. Although governments have begun to take needed steps to improve their fiscal condition, the danger exists that governments will deleverage too quickly and undermine the fragile recovery. In the United Kingdom, the new government recently introduced £81 billion in austerity measures in an effort to reduce the budget deficit below its projected 11% of gross domestic product. Investors will closely watch the effect of these spending cuts on growth as they begin to take hold in the coming months.

While developed markets will face challenges as they negotiate the balance between fostering growth and taking necessary austerity measures, the global economic recovery appears likely to continue. Emerging markets have rebounded remarkably well from the financial crisis of 2008 and should continue to serve as an engine of global growth. Corporations throughout the world have streamlined operations and reduced costs over the past couple of years, which has boosted profitability considerably. Although governments may demand a higher share of these profits as they wrestle with fiscal imbalances, investors should be left with a sufficient portion to justify current valuations.

As my predecessor, Raymond Mills, has noted, our goal as fundamental value investors is to identify attractive, undervalued companies with solid earnings prospects, sound balance sheets, and sufficient cash flow to generate dividend payments to shareholders. While the global economic situation remains uncertain, we are confident that strong fundamental research and skilled stock picking will be critical to investment success over the long term. Over the past year, investors have been very quick to react to economic data, rushing into and out of the market in response to one headline or another. This exceptional “fickleness,” as one of our colleagues has termed it, has resulted in discouraging drops in stock prices of many solid companies. However, we believe it also has created continued opportunities for long-term investors like ourselves. In determining the value of a company, we are interested in the profit potential of that company over many years, not over the short term. I look forward to reporting to you on our ongoing efforts in six months’ time.

Respectfully submitted,

The committee chairman has day-to-day responsibility for managing the portfolio and works with committee members in developing and executing the fund’s investment program.


RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTING

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

GLOSSARY

Gross domestic product: The total market value of all goods and services produced in a country in a given year.

Lipper average: The average of available mutual fund performance returns in defined categories as tracked by Lipper Inc.

MSCI EAFE Index: Widely accepted as the benchmark for international stock performance (EAFE refers to Europe, Australasia, and Far East). The index represents the major markets of the world.





Performance and Expenses

GROWTH OF $10,000 

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which may include a broad-based market index and a peer group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.







FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE 

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Please note that the fund has three share classes: The original share class (“investor class”) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, and R Class shares are available to retirement plans serviced by intermediaries and charge a 0.50% 12b-1 fee. Each share class is presented separately in the table.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual small-account maintenance fee of $10, generally for accounts with less than $2,000 ($500 for UGMA/UTMA). The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more, accounts employing automatic investing, and IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price (although a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The International Growth & Income Fund (the fund), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is one portfolio established by the corporation. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital and reasonable income through investments primarily in the common stocks of well-established, dividend-paying, non-U.S. companies. The fund has three classes of shares: the International Growth & Income Fund original share class, referred to in this report as the Investor Class, offered since December 21, 1998; the International Growth & Income Fund – Advisor Class (Advisor Class), offered since September 30, 2002; and the International Growth & Income Fund – R Class (R Class), offered since September 30, 2002. Advisor Class shares are sold only through unaffiliated brokers and other unaffiliated financial intermediaries, and R Class shares are available to retirement plans serviced by intermediaries. The Advisor Class and R Class each operate under separate Board-approved Rule 12b-1 plans, pursuant to which each class compensates financial intermediaries for distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative services. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to all classes; and, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other classes.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale of securities.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid by each class annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by the fund annually.

Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

Class Accounting The Advisor Class and R Class each pay distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative expenses in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not exceeding 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively, of the class’s average daily net assets. Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to all classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the relative daily net assets of each class.

Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.

Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value per share.

In-Kind Redemptions In accordance with guidelines described in the fund’s prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund realized $13,782,000 of net gain on $35,455,000 of in-kind redemptions.

New Accounting Pronouncement On May 1, 2010, the fund adopted new accounting guidance that requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements in the financial statements. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - VALUATION

The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP. The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes each class’s net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Values in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments are as of October 29, 2010, the last business day in the fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. Some foreign markets were open between October 29 and the close of the reporting period on October 31, but any differences in values and foreign exchange rates subsequent to October 29 through October 31 were immaterial to the fund’s financial statements.

Valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities. Debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation.

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those financial instruments for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices because the fund evaluates and determines whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on October 31, 2010:

NOTE 3 - OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Repurchase Agreements All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities. Collateral is in the possession of the fund’s custodian or, for tri-party agreements, the custodian designated by the agreement. Collateral is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s lending agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities or if collateral investments decline in value. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the lending agent. In accordance with GAAP, investments made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying financial statements, but collateral received in the form of securities are not. On October 31, 2010, the value of loaned securities was $9,773,000 and cash collateral investments totaled $10,206,000.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $1,307,082,000 and $957,430,000, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after filing of the tax return, but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to redemptions in kind. Reclassifications between income and gain relate primarily to the character of net currency losses. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the following reclassifications were recorded to reflect tax character; there was no impact on results of operations or net assets:

Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, totaled $69,344,000 and $82,040,000, respectively, and were characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. At October 31, 2010, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales and the realization of unrealized gains/losses on passive foreign investment companies for tax purposes. The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. The fund’s unused capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2010, expire: $51,560,000 in fiscal 2016, $285,382,000 in fiscal 2017, and $77,110,000 in fiscal 2018.

NOTE 5 - FOREIGN TAXES

The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Acquisition of certain foreign currencies related to security transactions are also subject to tax. Additionally, capital gains realized by the fund upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted, capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. Taxes incurred on the purchase of foreign currencies are recorded as realized loss on foreign currency transactions. Current and deferred tax expense attributable to net capital gains is reflected as a component of realized and/or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2010, the fund had no deferred tax liability attributable to foreign securities and no foreign capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (the manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), which is wholly owned by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.35% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.285% for assets in excess of $220 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2010, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.30%.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share prices and provides certain other administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the Investor Class and R Class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $140,000 for Price Associates; $421,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $259,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

Additionally, the fund is one of several mutual funds in which certain college savings plans managed by Price Associates may invest. As approved by the fund’s Board of Directors, shareholder servicing costs associated with each college savings plan are borne by the fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the college savings plan. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund was charged $183,000 for shareholder servicing costs related to the college savings plans, of which $147,000 was for services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2010, approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of the Investor Class were held by college savings plans.

The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds (Spectrum Funds) and T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds (Retirement Funds) may invest. Neither the Spectrum Funds nor the Retirement Funds invest in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Pursuant to separate special servicing agreements, expenses associated with the operation of the Spectrum and Retirement Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum and Retirement Funds, respectively. Expenses allocated under these agreements are reflected as shareholder servicing expenses in the accompanying financial statements. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund was allocated $536,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses and $3,706,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses. Of these amounts, $2,643,000 related to services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, redemption fees received by the Spectrum Funds are allocated to each underlying Price fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. $7,000 of redemption fees reflected in the accompanying financial statements were received from the Spectrum Funds. At October 31, 2010, approximately 12% of the outstanding shares of the Investor Class were held by the Spectrum Funds and 66% were held by the Retirement Funds.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund.

The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

As of October 31, 2010, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 1,325,460 shares of the Investor Class, representing less than 1% of the fund’s net assets.


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  

To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. and
Shareholders of T. Rowe Price International Growth & Income Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price International Growth & Income Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying fund by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees has determined that Mr. Anthony W. Deering qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Deering is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:


Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

    (2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,429,000 and $2,179,000, respectively.

(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Investments.
