Miss Earth 2010, the tenth edition of Miss Earth pageant, was held on 4 December 2010 at the Vinpearl Land in Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Eighty-four contestants from various countries and territories competed for the Miss Earth 2010 title. At the conclusion of the competition, outgoing titleholder Miss Earth 2009, Larissa Ramos of Brazil crowned her successor Nicole Faria of India. She is the first Miss Earth from India. The event was broadcast live by STAR World, VTV, ABS CBN, Studio 23, The Filipino Channel, and other partner networks.
The Miss Earth winner serves as the spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other environmental organizations.
The event was hosted by Oli Pettigrew, host of AXN's Sony Style program, along with Marie Digby and Jennifer Pham with Boyzone lead singer Ronan Keating as the guest performer. Vietnamese diva Mỹ Linh performed her latest English single during the show.
Note: Unlike other pageants, there was no "runner-up" in Miss Earth 2010. Instead the titles of Miss Air, Miss Water, and Miss Fire are bestowed on the next three contestants with highest scores after the Miss Earth winner. In this case, the titles went to Miss Ecuador, Jennifer Pazmiño, Miss Thailand, Watsaporn Wattanakoon and Miss Puerto Rico, Yeidy Bosques, respectively.
Note: The Carousel Productions has confirmed that Victoria Schukina is the new Miss Earth Air 2010 after Jennifer Pazmino (The original Miss Earth Air 2010 of Ecuador) has relinquished her crown due to marriage to her fiancee in February.
