The 2010 Masters Football Cup is an indoor football contest open to current or former professional footballers over the age of 35 years old. The 2010 Masters featured 6 heats (2 less than previous years, with the Scottish and Midlands heat removed) consisting of teams from England and Scotland, and the winners of each heat contested a National Final at the LG in Birmingham in September.
The defending champions were Tranmere Rovers, who defeated Bolton Wanderers in the 2009 Grand Final. The eventual winners of the competition were Birmingham City, after winning 4-2 on penalties against Tranmere Rovers.
All Heats of the Tournament were broadcasted by Sky Sports.
