The2010 Premier League Season was the second division of Britishspeedway. The regular season league was won by theEdinburgh Monarchs butNewcastle Diamonds won the playoffs. The first fixtures of the season took place on 5 April, and the season ended on 31 October 2010. TheKing's Lynn Stars were the defending champions from 2009. TheNewcastle Diamonds won most of the other awards.^[1]

The 2010 Premier League campaign was a successful campaign for both the Edinburgh Monarchs and Newcastle Diamonds. The Monarchs finished the season as Premier League Champions, having amassed 74 points, 16 points clear of the nearest rival (The Diamonds).^[2]

Although the Monarchs dominated the League, it was the Diamonds that took the most silverware of the season by winning the Premier League playoffs (againstSheffield Tigers), the Premier Trophy (againstBirmingham Brummies), and the Premier League Knockout Cup (against Edinburgh Monarchs). For the other competitions, the Sheffield Tigers were victorious in the Premier League Pairs, withRicky Ashworth andJosh Auty taking the crown ahead of the Brummies pair. However, the Brummies were victorious in the Premier League Fours, with them dominating the event throughout. The DaneKenni Larsen then finished off a remarkable season for the Diamonds by being crowned PLRC champion and only narrowingly missing out on the Highest CMA for the season, with the Monarchs' AmericanRyan Fisher achieving 9.69 average for the season.^[3]
