The 2010 FAI Women's Cup final, known as the 2010 FAI Umbro Women's Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was the final match of the 2010 FAI Women's Cup, the national association women's football cup of the Republic of Ireland. The match took place on Sunday 25 July 2010 at Tolka Park in Dublin, between Peamount United and Salthill Devon.
Peamount United won the game 4–2 thanks to an Áine O'Gorman hat-trick. Peamount won the cup first time in their history, having twice been losing finalists.
Background Peamount United had won the Dublin Women's Soccer League and the DWSL Premier Cup that season. They also came in to the game having lost the 2005 final 0–1 to Dundalk City, and having lost the 2008 final 1–2 to St Francis as a result of an injury time penalty.
Salthill came into the game with it being the first national final that a senior side at the club had ever made it to. Whilst the club had never made it to a final, many of the players featured in the Galway Ladies League team that won the cup in 2007.
