The 2010 WAFL season was the 126th season of the West Australian Football League in its various incarnations. It was notable for the end of the 2000s Subiaco dynasty, with the Lions missing out on the finals for the first time since 1997 and also witnessed reigning premiers South Fremantle dropping to be ahead of only perennial stragglers Peel and Perth, who continued their disastrous record of the 2000s. Peel avoided the wooden spoon with three wins but recorded the second worst average points against in WAFL history, behind only Perth in 1981. In contrast, Claremont, who had not won a premiership since 1996 and had been second last in both 2008 and 2009, rose to the top with only one loss and a draw until the closing home-and-away round, whilst Swan Districts, after suffering through severe financial difficulties and a long run of poor results on the field, ultimately won its eighth senior premiership in a thrilling Grand Final.

East Fremantle defeated Subiaco for the first time since Round 12, 2002. The intervening twenty-game winning streak was the longest in the WAFL by one club against another since 1985, and assured Subiaco would miss the finals for the first time since 1997.
In a game that would decide the wooden spoon with each opponent having won only once against the top seven, Perth kicked themselves out with 0.8 (8) in the last quarter.

As a result of the record dry winter in southwestern Australia very firm grounds allowed for the second highest-scoring match in WA(N)FL history and the highest since 1979, with no approach having been made since 1984.
East Perth ended Claremont's thirteen-game unbeaten streak and prevents it equalling its 1987 record of only one loss and a draw in the home-and-away season.
