The 2010 Women's Hockey World Cup Qualifiers were the 12th edition of the qualification tournament for the Women's Hockey World Cup field hockey championship tournament. Three events were held between March and June 2010 in the United States, Russia and Chile and only the winner of each would earn a berth to play in the 2010 World Cup, to be held in Rosario, Argentina.

South Korea, Japan and Australia each won one of the three tournaments.

Except for Africa, all other four confederations received quotas for teams to participate allocated by the International Hockey Federation based upon the FIH World Rankings at the completion of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Those teams participated at their respective continental championships but could not qualify through it, and they received the chance to qualify through one of the three tournaments based on the final ranking at each competition.
