The 2010 Scottish Women's Cup was the 39th official edition (41st overall) of the Scottish Women's Cup, the main knockout tournament in women's football in Scotland. With the schedule having been changed from autumn-spring to summer, no Scottish Cup was played during the shortened 2009 Scottish Women's Premier League and instead it was held over to the next year, to remain as the end-of season showpiece but now played in the latter part of the calendar year: matches in the 2010 tournament (which was sponsored by Unite) were played between May and November,[1] with the final taking place 18 months after that of the 2008–09 season.
