The 2010 United States Women's Curling Championships were held at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan from March 6, 2010 to March 13, 2010. This was the 34th edition of the United States Women's Curling Championship; it was held alongside the 2010 United States Men's Curling Championship.

Teams qualified through three different methods. First, the defending champions were granted an automatic berth; however, Team McCormick elected not to compete because of the Vancouver Olympics which take place during the preceding two weeks. Next, teams traditionally compete first through regional qualifiers with the top teams advancing to the nationals and then the runners-up compete at a Nationals Playdown to determine the final spots. However, so few women's teams submitted applications to the Regional Qualifiers that all teams were directly advanced to the National Championships.

The winning team represented the United States at the 2010 Ford World Women's Curling Championship.

The teams are listed as follows:
