2010 Finnish Cup (Finnish: Suomen Cup) was the 56th season of the main annual football (soccer) cup competition in Finland. It was organized as a single-elimination knock–out tournament.

Participation in the competition was voluntary. The winners of the competition entered the second qualifying round of UEFA Europa League.

A total of 271 teams registered for the competition. They entered in different rounds, depending on their position within the league system. Clubs with teams in Kolmonen (level IV) or an inferior league, as well as Veterans and Junior teams, started the competition in Round 1. Teams from Ykkönen (level II) and Kakkonen (level III) entered in Round 3. Veikkausliiga clubs started in Round 4 with the exceptions of Inter Turku, FC Honka, TPS and HJK Helsinki. These four teams entered in Round 5 because they had qualified for European competitions after the 2009 season.
