The 2010 ICC Africa Under-19 Championships or 2010 ICC Africa Under-19 World Cup Qualifiers were two cricket events organised by the African Cricket Association. The championships were played over two divisions and provided African U-19 teams with the chance to qualify for the 2012 U-19 World Cup. The second division was held from 26–30 July in Big Bend, Swaziland and the first division from 29 August-5 September in Windhoek, Namibia.
