The 1909–10 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1909-10 NCAA Division I college basketball season. Maurice Joyce coached the team in his third season as head coach. Georgetown was an independent and for the last time played its home games at the Odd Fellows Hall at 8th and D Streets NW in downtown Washington, D.C. The team finished the season with a record of 5-7.
Georgetown University Law School student and forward Fred Rice completed his third and final season with the Hoyas. Injuries limited him to seven games, in which he scored 13 field goals and seven free throws for a total of 33 points and a 4.7-point-per-game average. He completed his 28-game Georgetown career with 247 points, and his 8.8-point-per-game average was the fifth highest among Georgetown players prior to World War II.
Sophomore forward-center Frank Schlosser's offensive production dropped from the previous year, but he nonetheless led the team in scoring for the second straight year. He played in 10 games and scored 67 points, averaging 6.7 points per game.
The team finished with a record of 5-7, the only losing record in Joyce's four-year tenure as head coach and, in fact, the only losing season in the first 19 seasons of Georgetown men's basketball history. The next losing season would not come until the 1925-26 team finished at 5-8.
