The 2010 AFL season was the Collingwood Football Club's, (The Magpies), 114th season playing Australian rules football in the Victorian or Australian Football League. It was the club's most successful season since 1930 and the club's most successful season in AFL era. The Magpies won the premiership after defeating St Kilda by 56 points in the Grand Final Replay.
