The 2010 Asian Five Nations division tournaments, known as the 2010 HSBC Asian 5 Nations due to the tournament's sponsorship by the HSBC, refer to the Asian Five Nations divisions played within the tournament. This was the 3rd series of the Asian Five Nations.

There were four main divisions, with further regional division. The winners of Division 1 would be promoted up to the Top Division for 2011, as will the winner of Division 2 being promoted to Division 1. The loser of Division 1, drops to Division 2, and the winner of Division 3 replaces the last place team in Division 2.

Scoring system: 5 points for a win, three for a draw, one bonus point for being within seven points of the winning team, and one for four tries.

Division Four is the fifth level and new Tournament of the ARFU.

The Division IV tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, but recent unrest forced the movement of the division to neighbouring Kazakhstan and the recent closure of the border between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan saw Kyrgyzstan unable to travel for the tournament. Kyrgyzstan were replaced by an assembled Almaty Select XV. As the winner of Division Four, Jordan was promoted to Division Three for 2011
