The 2010 Neste Oil Rally Finland was the 60th Rally Finland and the eighth round of the 2010 World Rally Championship season. The rally took place over July 29–31, and is based in Jyväskylä, the capital of the Central Finland region. The rally was also the fifth round of the Production World Rally Championship and the sixth round of the Super 2000 World Rally Championship.
Jari-Matti Latvala took his second victory of the season, and the fourth of his WRC career after holding off the Citroën C4s of Sébastien Ogier, Sébastien Loeb and Petter Solberg, as the four drivers were separated by just over 30 seconds at the rally's conclusion.{{cite news|url=http://wrc.com/news/breaking-news-latvala-wins-neste-oil-rally-finland!/?fid=13442 |title=Latvala wins Neste Oil Rally Finland! |access-date=2010-07-31 |work=World Rally Championship |publisher=International Sportsworld Communicators |date=2010-07-31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100802022211/http://www.wrc.com/news/breaking-news-latvala-wins-neste-oil-rally-finland%21/?fid=13442 |archive-date=August 2, 2010 }} Four time world champion Juha Kankkunen finished 8th, having entered the rally to celebrate its sixtieth anniversary.{{Cite web |last=Thapar |first=Hamir |date=2023-11-01 |title=Remembering Kankkunen's final WRC act |url=https://dirtfish.com/rally/remembering-kankkunens-final-wrc-act/ |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=DirtFish |language=en-US}}
