2010 VFL season

The 2010 VFL season was the 129th season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), a second-tier Australian rules football competition played in the state of Victoria.

North Ballarat won the premiership for the third time and the third year in a row, defeating the Northern Bullants by 47 points in the 2010 VFL Grand Final.

Clubs

This season featured the addition of the Queensland-based Gold Coast Football Club to the league, the first new club in the VFL since Tasmania entered in 2001. Gold Coast's participation in the VFL was as part of the club's 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 in 2009, then was to play one season of state/reserves football in the VFL in 2010 before its AFL senior debut.

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.
