The 2010 Great West Conference Baseball Tournament took place from May 26–29. This was the first Great West Conference Baseball Tournament. All eight of the league's teams met in the round robin tournament held at University of Texas–Pan American's Edinburg Stadium in Edinburg, TX. Utah Valley won the championship by a score of 4-3. As the Great West is a new conference, the league does not have an automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
