The 2009–10 UCI America Tour was the sixth season for the UCI America Tour. The season began on 4 October 2009 with the Vuelta Chihuahua and ended on 12 September 2010 with the Univest Grand Prix.

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI America Tour cycling jersey. Gregorio Ladino of Colombia was the defending champion of the 2008–09 UCI America Tour and was crowned as the 2009–10 UCI America Tour champion.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.

The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

  • Multi-day events: 2.HC, 2.1 and 2.2
  • One-day events: 1.HC, 1.1 and 1.2
