The '''2009–10 Guinness Premiership''' was the 23rd season of the [[Premiership Rugby|top flight]] English domestic [[rugby union]] competition and the fifth and final one to be sponsored by [[Guinness]].

[[Leeds Tykes|Leeds Carnege]] had been promoted as champions from the [[2008–09 National Division One]] at the first attempt.

[[Leicester Tigers]] won their ninth title after defeating [[Saracens F.C.|Saracens]] in the final at [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] having also topped the regular season table.
