FC Santa Coloma won the league championship and entered the first qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League, where they were defeated by Maltese side Birkirkara F.C. UE Engordany was relegated and will be replaced by Segona Divisió champions Casa Estrella del Benfica for the 2010–11 season.

Competition format

The participating teams first play a conventional round-robin schedule with every team playing each opponent once home and once away for a total of 14 games. The league will then be split up in two groups of four teams with each of them playing teams within their group a home-and-away cycle of games. The top four teams compete for the championship. The bottom four clubs play out one direct relegation spot and one relegation play-off spot. Records earned in the First Round will be taken over to the respective Second Rounds.
