The 2009–10 Scottish Cup is the 125th season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The competition is sponsored by the Scottish Government and for sponsorship reasons is known as the Active Nation Scottish Cup.

From the First Round to the Third Round, postponed or drawn ties are normally replayed on the following weekend and thereafter on consecutive midweeks. From the Fourth Round to the Sixth Round, postponed or drawn ties are normally replayed on the second midweek after the original date, and thereafter on consecutive midweeks. There are no replays in the Semi-Finals or the Final.

The draw for the First Round was made at Hamilton Crescent, popularly known as the West of Scotland Cricket Ground, at 15:00 on 3 September 2009. Hamilton Crescent is now the oldest surviving ground to have hosted Scottish Cup Finals, and also hosted the first ever international football match.

This round is populated entirely by non-league clubs:

Burntisland Shipyard was the last club drawn and received a bye to the Second Round.

Four of the five Junior clubs (Girvan and the four qualifiers) won their ties, while Bonnyrigg Rose lost after a replay.Hawick Royal Albert's defeat by Huntly led to a police investigation of an allegation that the match had been fixed.
