Men's teams from 11 countries participated in the 2010 competition: Finland, Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United States (group A) and Canada, Hungary, Latvia, Mongolia and the Netherlands (group B).
The tournament was won by Sweden, beating Russia with 6–5 after sudden death. The standing was 5–5 after full-time and the match winning goal was conceived by Daniel Mossberg, scoring in the 110th minute. This was Sweden's tenth Championship victory in this the XXIXth Bandy World Championship. Russia won silver medals and Finland won bronze medals.
All matches were played in the indoor venue Ice Palace Krylatskoye in Moscow, Russia.
Belarus had qualified for play in this year's Division A during the 2009 Bandy World Championship, but since they did not take part in 2010, the USA, which had lost the qualifier to Belarus in 2009, was promoted to Division A instead.
