The A-League's 2009-10 season is the fifth season of the Australian A-League association football competition.

This season marks the addition of two new teams from Queensland. Template:ALeague GCU and the Template:ALeague NQF made their A-League debuts at the start of the season.[1] Because of this, Template:ALeague QR have been re-named to Template:ALeague BR, as they are no longer the only A-League club from Queensland. With the inception of the two new clubs, many club transfers have been undergone both within Australia and New Zealand, and around the world. The length of the regular season will be longer than in previous years, with 27 rounds rather than 21, plus finals. The season began on 6 August, with Melbourne hosting the Central Coast at home.[2] As well as these major changes to the league, the Pre-Season Challenge Cup will no longer be held as of the 2009-10 season due to a busier regular season schedule.[3]

Template:ALeague MV and Template:ALeague AU will compete in the 2010 AFC Champions League, Melbourne for their second time and Adelaide for their third.
