The 2010 CRC Season was the second season of the Canadian Rugby Championship. This was the first year when instead of the CRC Champion advancing to the ARC, a Canada Selects team was chosen from players participating in the tournament to go on and represent Canada at the international tournament. This was also the first season that included a post-season to decide the winner of the MacTier Cup.

There was no formal pre-season that the league put in place, so several teams played exhibition games against touring sides in order to prepare themselves for the season.
Structure
The round-robin structure with four teams participating in a round-robin format, each team playing against each other team once stayed the same from the previous season, again with no divisions or conferences. There were six games in total.
