The 2010 Supersport World Championship was the twelfth
FIMSupersport World Championship season—the fourteenth taking into account the two held under the name of Supersport World Series. The season started on 28 February at
Phillip Island and finished on 3 October at
Magny-Cours after thirteen rounds. The championship supported the
Superbike World Championship at every round.
Kenan Sofuoğlu clinched the title at the final round after a season-long battle with
Eugene Laverty.
Joan Lascorz was also in contention for most of the season but suffered a season-ending injury at Silverstone, however he amassed enough points to claim third place.
