The 2010 Pacific Coast League season was the 108th season in the league's history. It ended with the Tacoma Rainiers winning their first outright PCL championship. The Rainiers lost the Triple-A Baseball National Championship.

Memphis and Iowa finished tied for the American Conference North title, but the Redbirds qualified for the playoffs by virtue of a better division record (24-24 vs. Iowa's 20-28).
