The2010 Penrith Panthers season was the 44th inthe club's history. Coached byMatthew Elliott and captained byPetero Civoniceva, they competed in theNational Rugby League's2010 Telstra Premiership season.

In 2010 the Panthers jerseys were again made byISC. They retained their predominantly black home jerseys from 2009, while revealing a new teal and white away strip. The new away strip was designed featuring performance technology and weighed less than half of the previous away design.[1]

The Panthers once again participated in theheritage round, sporting a retro strip. This jersey featured a white V on a predominately brown background, paired with white shorts.
The Panthers again usedCUA Stadium as their home ground in 2010, their home ground since they entered the competition in 1967.
The main squad returned to training on 5 November 2009 to start preparing for the 2010 season.[3] Players involved in the2009 Four Nations and2009 Pacific Cup returned to training later.
