The 2010 ECAC Hockey Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 49th tournament in league history. It was played between March 5 and March 20, 2010. First Round and Quarterfinal games were played at home team campus sites, while the final four games were played at the Times Union Center in Albany, New York. By winning the tournament, Cornell received the ECAC Hockey automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.

In the Quarterfinals series between Union and Quinnipiac the first match became the longest game played in NCAA history when the winning goal was scored in the 151st minute of play (the fifth overtime).
