The 2010 Christy Ring Cup was the sixth edition of the Christy Ring Cup since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 2005 as the second-tier of hurling for senior county teams, with the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) as the first-tier of the system. It was contested by eight county teams.
