During the league round, competing nations were drawn into two pools of four teams, and played each other in a double round-robin system, with two matches per leg in a total of six legs.[1] Pool winners and the best runner-up would qualify for the final four round, joining the host team. If the final four host team finished first in its league round pool, both pool runners-up would qualify for the final four.[1] Spain and Portugal won pool A and B, respectively, and Romania and Turkey qualified as runners-up.

In the final four tournament, the semi-final matches featured Portugal and Spain defeating Romania (3–2) and Turkey (3–0), respectively, to produce a rematch of the 2007 final. Portugal overturned a 1–0 Spanish lead to win 3–1 and secure its first European League title. As winner of the 2010 European League, Portugal will compete in the FIVB World League 2011 Qualification tournament.
