The 2010 ICC World Twenty20 is the third ICC World Twenty20 competition, an international Twenty20 cricket tournament that is being held in the West Indies between 30 April and 16 May 2010.[1] Although the tournament was held every two years beginning in 2007, the scheduled ICC Champions Trophy one-day international tournament to be held in the West Indies in 2010 has been revised to a Twenty20 format because the 2008 Champions Trophy tournament in Pakistan was postponed due to security concerns and there was a need to correct the international cricketing tournament calendar.[1] This ICC World Twenty20 is taking place only 10 months after the last one. As before, the tournament will feature 12 teams – the Test-playing nations and two qualifiers. Matches will be played at three grounds – Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados; Providence Stadium in Providence, Guyana; and Beausejour Stadium in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. The tournament is being organised in parallel with the women's tournament, with the men's semi-finals and final each being preceded by the semi-finals and final from the women's event.

Rules and regulations
During the group stage and Super Eight, points are awarded to the teams as follows:
| Results | Points |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 points |
| No result | 1 point |
| Loss | 0 points |
In case of a tie (i.e. both teams score exactly the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), a Super Over decides the winner. This is applicable in all stages of the tournament.[2]
Within each group (of both group and Super Eight stages), teams are ranked against each other based on the following criteria:[3]
- Higher number of points
- If equal, higher number of wins
- If still equal, higher net run rate
- If still equal, lower bowling strike rate
- If still equal, result of head to head meeting.
Groups
The groups were announced on 4 July 2009. The initial four group format is the same as that used at the 2009 tournament. Team seed in brackets.

- Afghanistan and Ireland qualified via the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.
- As Zimbabwe withdrew from the 2009 competition, they failed to achieve a seed for the 2010 competition.
- As Ireland reached the Super Eight stage of the 2009 competition, they would have been the eighth seed if they were a Test playing nation. Therefore, an eighth seed is missing from the competition.

Group E will consist of the top seed from Groups A and C, and the second seed of groups B and D. Group F will consist of the top seed from Groups B and D, and the second seed of groups A and C. The seedings used are those allocated at the start of the tournament and are not affected by group stage results, with the exception of if a non-seeded team knocks out a seeded team, the non-seeded team inherits the seed of the knocked-out team.[5]
