This season's competition was held with nine clubs competing, one less than last season. The season will use a triple round robin format instead of a double round robin format for the first stage of the season. At the end of the first stage of the competition, the club in ninth place was relegated to the First Division while the clubs finishing in the top four progressed to the second stage of the competition, called the Final Four. In this stage, each club played against the other three once each. At the end, the top two clubs faced each other for the league championship in a three-legged playoff.

Changes from 2009–10
  • The top four teams at the end of the first eight matches would earn a berth into the 2010 Super Mas Cup[1]
  • The top four teams by their second half record would earn a berth into the 2011 Easter Cup[2]

Teams

Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College and Washington Archibald High School FC finished in ninth and tenth place at the end of last season's competition and did not take part in this season's competition. Joining the competition this season were St. Thomas/Trinity Strikers FC.
