2010 Scottish Women's Premier League

The 2010 Scottish Women's Premier League was the ninth season of the Scottish Women's Premier League, the top level of women's football in Scotland. 12 teams contested the championship. It was played as a double round-robin within the 2010 calendar year (matches were played between March and November), following a format change in 2009.[1] As that 2009 season had been a transitional, shortened campaign with only one round of fixtures, it was determined that no promotion or relegation would take place, although a championship title was still awarded, and the participants in 2010 were unchanged.
