The 2010 Canada Cup of Curling was held December 1–5, 2010 at the Medicine Hat Arena in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
The Glenn Howard rink won their first Canada Cup on the men's side, defeating Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin in the final, 10–7. It had been 15 years since Howard and third Wayne Middaugh played together in a major curling final, with Middaugh subbing in for regular third Richard Hart. The team took home $25,000 for the win in addition to $4,000 won from wins in the round robin. Glenn Howard's win marks the first time that a non-Alberta men's team won a Canada Cup.
In the women's final, Stefanie Lawton won her second cup, defeating Olympic silver medallist Cheryl Bernard, 7–3. Her team also took home $25,000 plus $3,200 for her round robin wins. The win qualified the team for the 2011 Canada Cup of Curling and the 2012 Continental Cup of Curling.
