The 2010 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 80th staging of the competition since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.

Traditionally, the four provincial championship winners face each other at the All-Ireland semi-final stage.

As the Ulster GAA council did not hold a provincial championship, the fourth semi-final spot was therefore taken by Lancashire, as winners of the 2010 All-Britain Junior Football Championship.

The victory of Sligo, in the final against Kerry, was the county's second in the history of the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship and its first since 1935.[1]
