This is a list of the 2010 Super League season results . Super League is the top-flight rugby league competition in the United Kingdom and France . The 2010 season started on 29 January, when Crusaders RL played their rearranged round 4 fixture against Leeds Rhinos , and will end on 2 October with the 2010 Super League Grand Final .
The 2010 Super League season consisted of two stages. The regular season was played over 27 round-robin fixtures, in which each of the fourteen teams involved in the competition played each other once at home and once away , as well as their Magic Weekend fixtures played over the May Day bank holiday . In Super League XV, a win was worth two points in the table, a draw worth one point apiece, and a loss yielded no points.
The league leaders at the end of the regular season received the League Leader's Shield , but the Championship will be decided through the second stage of the season—the play-offs . The top eight teams in the table contested to play in the 2010 Super League Grand Final , the winners of which are crowned Super League XV Champions.
