The 2010 Coupe de la Ligue Final was the 16th final of France's football league cup competition, the Coupe de la Ligue, a football competition for the 46 teams that the Ligue de Football Professionnel manages. The final took place on 27 March 2010 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. The match was contested by Ligue 1 clubs Marseille and Bordeaux, who were the defending champions of the competition. The winner is guaranteed a UEFA Europa League place for the 2010–11 season with their appearance being dependent on whether they qualify for the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League. The final and both semi-finals were broadcast live on France 3.
Marseille claimed its first title since its 1992–93 UEFA Champions League triumph following a 3–1 victory over Bordeaux. The goals were scored by Souleymane Diawara, Mathieu Valbuena and Mathieu Chalmé, who converted an own goal; Ludovic Sané scored Bordeaux's lone goal. Because of its Ligue 1 title, Marseille claimed the league and league cup double. It became the second-straight season a club had won the league and league cup double, with finalists Bordeaux achieving it the previous season.
