The 2010 Allsvenskan, part of the 2010 Swedish football season, was the 86th Allsvenskan season. It began on 13 March 2010 and ended on 7 November 2010. AIK were the defending champions. Malmö FF secured their 16th title in the last round after winning with 2–0 against Mjällby.

Malmö narrowly beat Scanian rivals Helsingborg to the title, with Örebro being in third. Malmö had gone through five seasons in fifth place or lower after the last title in 2004, marking a major turnaround. It would also serve as a starting point of a strong era for the club, since Malmö won four of the next seven league titles and never finished outside the top four in the rest of the decade.

Footnotes

A. ^ After the victory in the relegation play-off against Assyriska FF in the last match of the 2009 season, supporters of Djurgården stormed the pitch, with at least one player in Assyriska being attacked by hooligans. As a penalty, Djurgårdens IF had to pay a fine of 200,000 SEK and play their next home match (the first of the 2010 season) without any spectators.^[3]
