The total prize fund was £350,000. This was the same as the 2009 tournament. The following is the breakdown of the fund:

Semi-finalists – £20,000
Quarter-finalists – £12,500

The field of 32 players was mostly made up from the top 16 in the PDC Order of Merit on September 20, following the two Players Championships in Nuland, Netherlands. The top 8 from these rankings were also the seeded players. The remaining 16 places went to the top 12 non-qualified players from the Players Championship Order of Merit, and then to the top 4 non-qualified residents of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland from the 2010 Players Championship Order of Merit who have competed in at least six Players Championship events.
The whole tournament was screened by Sky Sports in high definition.
Bodog sponsored the tournament for the first time.
