The 2010 USL Premier Development League season was the 16th season of the PDL. The regular season began on April 24, 2010, and ended on July 26. The league consisted of 67 teams across eight divisions. The playoffs began on Friday, July 30 and concluded with the PDL Championship Game on August 8. As in previous years, the PDL Championship Game was broadcast live on Fox Soccer Channel in the United States, with commentary by Kenn Tomasch and Jon Billings.
The Portland Timbers U23's ended the season as national champions, beating Thunder Bay Chill 4–1 in the 2010 PDL Championship game. The Timbers also had the best regular season record, winning all their 16 games, scoring 53 goals and conceding just six along the way. In doing so the Saplings became the first team to post a perfect PDL regular season record since the Jackson Chargers in 1998,[http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/448388.html Timbers Make History at Kitsap; Portland Becomes First Unblemished Team Since 1998] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313093924/http://www.uslsoccer.com/home/448388.html |date=2012-03-13 }} the first regular season champion to win the playoffs since the Central Coast Roadrunners in 1996, and the first team in PDL history to go through an entire PDL regular season and playoff campaign without posting a loss or a tie.
Portland Timbers U23's striker Brent Richards was named League MVP and Rookie of the Year for his stellar campaign with the national champions, while Timbers head coach Jim Rilatt was named Coach of the Year. Joe Tait of the Baton Rouge Capitals was named Defender of the Year after scoring six goals and an assist in 12 games, and helping his team to the national final four. Ryan Meara of Newark Ironbound Express was named Goalkeeper of the Year after recording an impressive eight shutout wins in only 12 games played, and ranking fourth in the league in goals-against average at 0.666.[http://pdl.uslsoccer.com/home/453883.html 2010 PDL Honors Announced] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314024545/http://pdl.uslsoccer.com/home/453883.html |date=March 14, 2012 }}
Players from Canadian side Thunder Bay Chill led the majority of the statistical categories, with striker Brandon Swartzendruber leading the league with 15 goals, while his teammate Gustavo Oliveira led the league with 13 assists. Portland Timbers U23's goalkeeper Jacob Gleeson enjoyed the best goalkeeping statistics, allowing just five goals in 15 games and earning a 0.360 GAA average.[http://pdl.uslsoccer.com/home/450450.html Chill Dominate Season Honors] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229144903/http://pdl.uslsoccer.com/home/450450.html |date=February 29, 2012 }}
