The 2010 NAB Cup was the Australian Football League (AFL) pre-season competition that was played before the 2010 season. The games were played between 12 February and 13 March, with the first match being between West Coast and Essendon at Subiaco Oval. It was the last pre-season competition held in the current knockout format due to the entry of the Gold Coast Suns into the AFL in 2011.[1]
