=Rule changes=
==Field dimensions==
Whereas in previous years, the outfield fence was set at 190 feet from home plate and standing four feet in height, the fence was moved back to 200 feet and raised to a height of six feet for this year's tournament. Despite the change, the 2010 Series saw a record-breaking number of home runs resulting from "some of the power brought into the game by composite-barreled bats.""[https://www.ncaa.com/sports/w-softbl/recaps/060810aad.html UCLA Powers Its Way To 11th National Title, Rout Arizona 15-9]{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}," 8 June 2010
==Illegal pitching==
The 2010 WCWS was marked by a proliferation of illegal pitch calls, following a memo by NCAA Softball Secretary Rules Editor Dee Abrahamson outlining an increased emphasis on legal pitching.[http://www.spysoftball.com/6-3-10-ncaa-on-illegal-pitches 6-3-10 NCAA on Illegal Pitches] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100716053550/http://www.spysoftball.com/6-3-10-ncaa-on-illegal-pitches |date=2010-07-16 }}, Dee Abrahamson Arizona Wildcats pitcher Kenzie Fowler, in particular, was cited for eight illegal pitches in Arizona's first-round 9-0 loss to Tennessee, and a further eight illegal pitches in Arizona's second-round 4-3 win over Washington; Fowler was cited for 16 of the 22 illegal pitches called in the first eight games of the tournament. Wildcats coach Mike Candrea reacted by saying that "the officials were way too involved in [the Tennessee] game," and that the citation of illegal pitches was "sporadic.""[https://www.espn.com/college-sports/news/story?id=5249951 Arizona's Candrea slams WCWS umps]," 4 June 2010
