The 2009–10 Guinness Premiership was the 23rd season of the top flight of the English domestic rugby union competitions, played between September 2009 and May 2010. Defending champions Leicester Tigers topped the regular season league table and then won their third title in four years and their ninth overall after they defeated Saracens in the Premiership final at Twickenham on 29 May 2010.[1]

As usual, round 1 included the London Double Header at Twickenham, the sixth instance since its inception in 2004.

This was the final season for the competition as the Guinness Premiership. Effective with the 2010–11 season, the competition would henceforth be known as the Aviva Premiership for at least four seasons.

The previous season

The season saw the introduction of the controversial ELVs, although only 13 of the rules were used, as opposed to the 30 that were trialled in the Super 14. Most were abandoned at the end of the season.

Leicester Tigers finished top of the league after the home-and-away season and went on to win the championship, first defeating Bath 24–10 in the semifinals and then edging London Irish 10–9 in the final at Twickenham.

Bristol were relegated, to be replaced by Leeds Carnegie promoted back to the premiership at the first opportunity.

Teams

Leeds, having won the 2008–09 National Division One, replaced Bristol, who were relegated last season after finishing bottom of the table.
