The 2010 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship was the 33rd World Championship organised by the British Darts Organisation, and the 25th staging at the Lakeside Country Club at Frimley Green. Ted Hankey was the defending men's champion having won the title for the second time in the previous year's final against Tony O'Shea, which went to thirteen sets and lasted almost two and a half hours. The defending women's champion was Francis Hoenselaar, having beaten seven-time champion Trina Gulliver in the 2009 final.

Players from 32 countries around the globe competed to reach the BBC televised finals, which ran from 2–10 January at Frimley Green. The men's top seed was O'Shea, with Hankey seeded fifth, and 2007 winner Martin Adams ranked third. Julie Gore was top women's seed, ahead of Gulliver. There were 11 debutants at the world championships.

The 2008 Champion Mark Webster 2008 Runner Up Simon Whitlock, and former semi-finalist Gary Anderson are three players who did not return after moving to the PDC.

Martin Adams was the winner of the mens championship beating Dave Chisnall 7-5 in the final. Trina Gulliver won the Womens Championship for the eight time beating Rhian Edwards 2-0.

Television coverage

The tournament has been broadcast by BBC Sport every year since its inception. Having hosted the tournament since 2001, Ray Stubbs is not hosting coverage in 2010. On 17 July 2009, Stubbs left the BBC to join ESPN. Rob Walker, the Master of Ceremonies at BBC's snooker coverage was due to be his replacement after hosting the coverage of the 2009 Winmau World Masters but it was later revealed that BBC Radio 5 Live and Football on Five presenter Colin Murray is hosting live coverage with Rob Walker presenting coverage of the late night highlights and Darts Extra through the night on BBC2 and acting as a roaming reporter during BBC2's live coverage. Analysis again comes from Bobby George, and commentary from David Croft, Tony Green and Tony O'Shea. In Germany the tournament has been broadcast by the Eurosport.

Again, every dart is being shown live, via the BBC's interactive coverage on its Red Button service.
