The 10th International Indian Film Academy Awards (informally known as the Decadial IIFA Awards) were a major film awards ceremony honoring the best Bollywood films of 2008. The ceremony was held in The Venetian Macao, Macau from 11 June to 13 June 2009. The choice of Macau as host city was considered a well-planned decision, aimed at reducing tensions between India and China,{{cite web |url-status=live

IIFA completed 10 years of existence in 2009, giving awards to numerous prominent film personalities. In honour of this landmark, five special IIFA Awards were awarded that year, and these awards were collectively called as the IIFA Golden Decade Honors (also as the Artists of the Decade Awards).{{cite web |url-status=live

Jodhaa Akbar led the ceremony with 13 nominations, followed by Race with 9 nominations, Rock On!! with 8 nominations, and Dostana and Ghajini with 6 nominations each.

Jodhaa Akbar won 10 awards, including Best Film, Best Director (for Ashutosh Gowariker) and Best Actor (for Hrithik Roshan), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.

Choice of host city and venue

Usually, the decision of a host city for the forthcoming IIFA Award ceremony takes place in the first press conference in the host city itself. This rule was broken and the host city and venue for the 2009 edition of the awards was announced in Mumbai. Brand Ambassador of IIFA, Amitabh Bachchan, announced Macau as host city in an event in the JW Marriott Hotel. The venue was declared to be The Venetian Macao, one of the largest resorts in the world. Reportedly, Toronto (was later chosen as host for 2011) and Istanbul had also bid for the awards. The next award ceremony were announced to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka in 2010.

Macau was once again hosted the 2013 IIFA Awards.
