Main article: Super League XV

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 Leaders' 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.

Play-offs

[edit]

The 2010 Super League play-offs take place in September and October 2010. They decided which two teams will play in the Grand Final.

Format

[edit]
Main article: Super League play-offs

Super League has used a play-off system since Super League III in 1998. When introduced, 5 teams qualified for the play-offs, which was subsequently expanded to 6 teams in 2002. The 2010 season will follow the same format as the 2009 season.[11]

Following the final round of matches, all eight play-off teams will be decided. The winning team from week one with the highest League placing will be allowed to select their opponents for week three.[11] Except this choosing opportunity, the new format follows the play-off system of the Australian Football League.
