The 2010 CONCACAF Champions League final was a two-legged football match-up to determine the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League champions. Pachuca won the title with a 1–0 home win against compatriots Cruz Azul in the second leg of the final.
This was the fourth all-Mexican CONCACAF club championship final in the last five years, and the second in a row.
Rules Like other match-ups in the knockout round, the teams played two games, one at each team's home stadium. If the teams remained tied after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg, the away goals rule would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.
