The 2010 Richmond Raiders season was the first season as a professional indoor football franchise and their first in the American Indoor Football Association (AIFA). One of 13 teams competing in the AIFA for the 2010 season.

In July, 2009, the American Indoor Football Association announced that they would be expanding into Richmond, Virginia. After a month-long name-the-team contest, the Richmond franchise announced that it would be nicknamed the Raiders on August 5, 2009.{{cite web |url=http://www.richmond.com/sports/article_8bd0f793-3ccb-5fe6-a4f2-3eda22b502f4.html |title=Raiders chosen as name for Richmond's AIFA team |date=August 5, 2009 |publisher=BH Media Group Holdings, Inc. |work=www.richmond.com |accessdate=December 17, 2014}}

The Raiders' first game was the 2010 AIFA Kickoff Classic; on January 23, 2010, where they played an exhibition game against the AIFA All-Stars at the Richmond Coliseum.

On May 5, 2010, defensive coordinator Charles Gunnings replaced Mike Siani as the head coach, as Siani resigned.{{cite web |url=http://www.richmond.com/news/article_a25247e5-294b-504a-b3bd-3afd6f96a023.html |title=Richmond Raiders change coaches |date=May 5, 2010 |publisher=BH Media Group Holdings, Inc. |work=www.richmond.com |accessdate=December 17, 2014}}{{cite web |url=http://www.richmond.com/sports/article_3ab79182-5294-5527-b68f-11310fce5374.html |title=Gunnings replaces Siani as Raiders' coach |author=Time Pearrell |date=May 6, 2010 |publisher=BH Media Group Holdings, Inc. |work=www.richmond.com |accessdate=December 17, 2014}}
