The 2010 Eliteserien Promotion/Relegation play-offs was the 38th time a spot in the Norwegian top flight was decided by play-off matches between top tier and second-level clubs.
At the end of the 2010 season, Kongsvinger and Sandefjord were relegated directly to the 2011 1. divisjon, and was replaced by Sogndal and Sarpsborg 08 who were directly promoted.
The play-offs between Eliteserien and 1. divisjon have been held every year since 1972 with exceptions in 1994 and 2011.

The fixtures are determined by final league position – two semifinals: 14th in Eliteserien v 6th in 1. divisjon and 4th v 5th, and the winner then play each other to determine who play in Eliteserien the next season.
