The 1910 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team was an American football team that represented the University of Notre Dame as an independent during the 1910 college football season. In their second and final year under head coach Frank Longman, the Irish compiled a 4–1–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 192 to 25. They won lopsided victories over four small college teams, lost to Michigan Agricultural (now known as Michigan State) and tied with Marquette. The loss to Michigan Agricultural was the first for a Notre Dame team since 1908.
Key players included freshman Gus Dorais, who won the spot as starting quarterback early in the season, and two large tackles, George Philbrook and Ralph Dimmick. Dimmick was also the team captain.
The team played its home games at Cartier Field in Notre Dame, Indiana.
