Ties were played on 7–9 May. The game between Halifax and Batley Bulldogs was postponed due to Halifax being suspected of fielding an ineligible player – Michael Ostick – who played for Rochdale Hornets in the third round. Despite being cup-tied, the Rugby Football League found that he played for Halifax in round four against Swinton Lions. The Lions were reinstated and Halifax removed from the competition, with their head coach Matt Calland being suspended by the club.http://superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=17640 Halifax disqualified from 2010 Carnegie Challenge Cup superleague.co.uk 2010-05-11 2010-05-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20120309072824/http://superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=17640 9 March 2012 dead HomeScoreAwayMatch InformationDate and TimeVenueRefereeAttendance Swinton Lions 6–58 Batley Bulldogs 19 May 2010 19:00 Sedgley Park Robert Hicks 636 Leeds Rhinos 70–22 Blackpool Panthers 7 May 2010 20:00 Headingley Gareth Hewer 5,316 Barrow Raiders 42–24 Hunslet Hawks 9 May 2010 15:30 Craven Park Ronnie Laughton 2,241 Bradford Bulls 58–16 Leigh Centurions 7 May 2010 20:00 Grattan Stadium Thierry Alibert 4,250 Harlequins 10–30 St. Helens 9 May 2010 14:00 The Stoop Ben Thaler 3,381 Crusaders 34–35 Catalans Dragons 9 May 2010 15:30 Racecourse Ground Ian Smith 1,817 Huddersfield Giants 4–60 Warrington Wolves 8 May 2010 14:30 Galpharm Stadium P Bentham 6,641 Widnes Vikings 10–64 Wigan Warriors 8 May 2010 19:30 Stobart Stadium J Child 5,504 Quarter-finals The draw for the Quarter-finals was made on 9 May.
