It began on August 14, 2009, with a match between Toulon and Stade Français at Stade Mayol in Toulon, and continued through to the final at the Stade de France on May 29, 2010. This year's edition of the Top 14 welcomed Racing Métro, winners of the 2009 title in the second-level Pro D2, and Albi, victors in the 2009 promotion playoffs between the second- through fifth-placed teams in Pro D2, thus becoming the first team to achieve promotion to the Top 14 only one year after being relegated. They took the place of the two clubs from Landes, Dax and Mont-de-Marsan, relegated at the end of the 2008–09 Top 14. Mont-de-Marsan, which had been promoted to the Top 14 for 2008–09, finished bottom of the table and went down. The other newly promoted team in 2008–09, Toulon, finished ninth, sending Dax, who had already finished second-to-bottom the previous season before being allowed to stay in the Top 14 due to Albi's financial troubles, to Pro D2. The two teams promoted for 2009–10 had very different results. Albi finished bottom of the table by a wide margin and went directly back to Pro D2. Racing Métro, on the other hand, finished sixth, giving them a berth in the newly expanded playoffs and a place in the 2010–11 Heineken Cup. Bayonne finished in the other relegation spot of 13th place, but were reprieved due to the financial problems of 12th-place Montauban. The season ended with Clermont winning their first French national title in their nearly century-long history, defeating defending champions Perpignan 19–6 in a rematch of last season's final. This result ended decades of frustration for Les Jaunards and their supporters, who had previously tasted defeat in all 10 of their previous final-game appearances.https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/31/sports/rugby/31iht-RUGBY.html At Long Last, Clermont Wins the Championship 2010-05-30 Huw Richards The New York Times 2010-05-31 https://web.archive.org/web/20100604120424/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/31/sports/rugby/31iht-RUGBY.html 4 June 2010 live 2 Teams 100% 70% ClubCity (department)StadiumCapacityPrevious season Albi Albi (Tarn) Stadium Municipal d'Albi 13,058 Promoted from Pro D2 (play-offs) Bayonne Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) Stade Jean DaugerBayonne would also play one home game at the 32,076 capacity Estadio Anoeta in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. a Bayonne 16,934 7th Biarritz Biarritz (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) Parc des Sports AguiléraBiarritz would also play two home games at the 32,076 capacity Estadio Anoeta in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. a Biarritz 15,000 5th Bourgoin Bourgoin-Jallieu (Isère) Stade Pierre RajonBourgon would also play one home game at the 20,088 capacity Stade des Alpes in Grenoble, and another at the 41,044 capacity Stade Gerland in Lyon. a Bourgoin 9,441 11th Brive Brive-la-Gaillarde (Corrèze) Stade Amédée-Domenech 15,000 6th Castres Castres (Tarn) Stade Pierre-Fabre 11,500 12th Clermont Clermont-Ferrand (Puy-de-Dôme) Stade Marcel-Michelin 16,574 Runners up (3rd in league) Montauban Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne) Stade Sapiac 12,600 8th Montpellier Montpellier (Hérault) Stade Yves-du-Manoir 15,789 10th Perpignan Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales) Stade Aimé Giral 16,593 Champions (1st in league) Racing Métro Colombes (Hauts-de-Seine) Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir 14,000 Promoted from Pro D2 (champions) Stade Français Paris, 16th arrondissement Stade Jean-BouinStade Français would also play five home games at the 81,338 capacity Stade de France as well as one home game at 20,000 capacity Stade Sébastien Charléty. a Stade Français 12,000 Semi-finals (4th in league) Toulon Toulon (Var) Stade MayolToulon would also play two home games at the 67,394 capacity Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. a Toulon 13,800Capacity of Stade Mayol up to 13,800 from 13,700 the previous season. a 9th Toulouse Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) Stade Ernest-WallonToulouse would also play three home games at the 35,575 capacity Stadium Municipal. a Toulouse 19,500 Semi-finals (2nd in league) 30% France left 450 Locations of the 2009–10 Top 14 teams France 43.93 2.15 Albi right France 43.485469 -1.479289 Bayonne bottom France 43.483333 -1.55 Biarritz left France 45.58961 5.28764 Bourgoin bottom France 45.16 1.55 Brive top France 43.61087 2.25271 Castres bottom France 45.78938 3.10609 Clermont top France 44.010278 1.351667 Montauban top France 43.593 3.8496 Montpellier right France 42.715278 2.891389 Perpignan right France 48.929444 2.248056 Racing Métro top France 48.843056 2.252778 Stade Français bottom France 43.118947 5.936531 Toulon right France 43.621944 1.415556 Toulouse left Managerial changes On 8 September, Stade Français sacked head coach Ewen McKenzie and his assistant Christophe Dominici after a disastrous start to the season put the Parisians in the drop zone.

The second half of the season is conducted in the same order as the first, with the club at home in the first half of the season away in the second. This season introduced a new format for the knockout stage: the top two teams qualify directly to the semifinals, while teams ranked from third to sixth qualify for a quarterfinal held at the homeground of the higher-ranked team. The semifinals are then held at neutral sites, with the final being played at the Stade de France. This replaced the classical format consisting of semifinals between the top four teams held at neutral sites. Going into the season, the top six clubs were guaranteed of berths in the 2010–11 Heineken Cup. The winners of the 2009–10 Heineken Cup and European Challenge Cup are assured of berths in the 2010–11 Heineken Cup regardless of their league standing. This means that if a club finishes in the top six and wins one of the European competitions, the seventh-place team will gain a Heineken Cup berth. However, if French clubs win both competitions, only five clubs will qualify for the 2010–11 Heineken Cup via their league position because France is capped at seven Heineken Cup places. France can also secure a seventh berth if clubs from England's Guinness Premiership, also capped at seven Heineken Cup places, win both Cup competitions, and the top club in the European Rugby Club Rankings among those not already qualified for the Heineken Cup is from the Top 14. As it turned out, France earned a seventh berth when Toulouse won the Heineken Cup; because Toulouse had finished fourth on the regular-season table, the extra berth went to seventh-place Biarritz, who were also their opponent in the Heineken Cup final. The bottom two teams are provisionally relegated to Pro D2, with the possibility of one or both of the bottom teams to be reprieved if a team above them fails a postseason financial audit (mandatory for all clubs in the league). The LNR used a slightly different bonus points system from that used in most other rugby competitions. It trialled a new system in 2007–08 explicitly designed to prevent a losing team from earning more than one bonus point in a match,http://www.planet-rugby.com/Story/0,18259,3559_2450951,00.html French try out new bonus point system Planet-Rugby.com 2007-06-27 2007-08-13 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070929120105/http://www.planet-rugby.com/Story/0%2C18259%2C3559_2450951%2C00.html 2007-09-29 a system that also made it impossible for either team to earn a bonus point in a drawn match. The LNR chose to continue with this system for subsequent seasons.http://www.lnr.fr/omm/upload/3%20-%20Titre%20II%20-%20Reglement%20sportif%202008%20-2009.pdf Article 330, Section 3.2.

This replaces the standard bonus point for scoring 4 tries regardless of the match result. 1 "bonus" point for losing by 7 points (or less).

PER It was possible that the sixth-place team on the table would not qualify for the Heineken Cup. However, it would occur only if French teams won both the Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup, and both of these teams finished outside the top six on the league table. This did not happen in 2009–10 because only one of the European cups was won by a French team (the Heineken Cup by Toulouse). Conversely, if the only French team to win a European trophy finished in the top six, or if both European trophy winners finished in the top six, the seventh-place finisher would receive a Heineken Cup berth. Since Toulouse finished fourth, Biarritz claimed the extra French berth. Stade Français finished eighth on the ladder, ahead of Brive, based on a 5–4 edge in head-to-head competition points. STF Normally, the bottom two teams are relegated. However, on 1 April, the LNR's financial watchdog, DNACG, called Bourgoin, Montauban, and Stade Français for a financial review. No action was taken against Bourgoin or Stade Français, but DNACG announced that Montauban would be relegated because the club could not assure that they could clear their €1.7 million financial shortfall,http://www.scrum.com/francetop14/rugby/story/113533.html Montauban face Top 14 ruin Scrum.com 2010-04-01 2010-04-01 which reportedly stemmed from a loan the club took out to improve their ground, Stade Sapiac.http://www.scrum.com/francetop14/rugby/story/114647.html Financial strife sees Montauban relegated Scrum.com 2010-04-26 2010-04-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20100501035259/http://www.scrum.com/francetop14/rugby/story/114647.html 1 May 2010 live Montauban could have appealed at the next DNACG meeting on 4 May, but the club wound up filing for bankruptcy on 26 April. The bankruptcy filing confirmed their relegation from the Top 14.
