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.

FC Ranger's were relegated after last season due to finishing in 8th place. They were replaced by Segona Divisió champions FC Encamp.

Inter Club d'Escaldes and Segona Divisió runners-up Atletic Club d'Escaldes played a two-legged relegation play-off. Inter kept their spot in Primera Divisió by winning 10–9 on penalties after an aggregated 3–3 tie with their village rivals.
