2010 Faroe Islands Premier League, also known as Vodafonedeildin for sponsoring reasons, was the sixty-eighth season of top-tier football on the Faroe Islands. It began on 31 March 2010 with a match between NSÍ Runavík and ÍF Fuglafjørður and ended on 23 October 2010. HB Tórshavn were the defending champions, having won their 20th league championship last season.

Teams

KÍ Klaksvík and 07 Vestur were relegated to 1. deild after finishing 9th and 10th in the 2009 season. They were replaced by 1. deild champions VB/Sumba and runners-up B71 Sandoy.

In other changes, VB/Sumba were renamed FC Suðuroy prior to this season.[1]
