The 129th season of the Victorian Football League was held in 2010. The North Ballarat Football Club won the premiership, its third flag in a row.

Teams

This season featured the addition of the Gold Coast Football Club to the league, the first new club in the VFL since Tasmania entered in 2001. The new Gold Coast club was to play this single season of VFL football as preparation for its entry into the Australian Football League in 2011. The club had played one season of under-18s football in the TAC Cup the previous year.

The VFL continued to serve as both the top state-level football league in Victoria, and as a reserves competition for Victorian-based clubs in the Australian Football League, as had been the case since 2000. The affiliation agreements between VFL and AFL clubs were unchanged from 2009.

The top three teams after the finals – North Ballarat, Northern Bullants and Williamstown – qualified for the inaugural Foxtel Cup in 2011.

Finals

The preliminary finals and the reserves Grand Final were moved from TEAC Oval to Box Hill City Oval because heavy rain and frequent use during September had left TEAC Oval unplayable.[1]
