The 2010 Copa Libertadores de América (officially the 2010 Copa Santander Libertadores for sponsorship reasons) was the 51st edition of the Copa Libertadores de América, CONMEBOL's premier international club tournament. The tournament began on January 26 and ended on August 18. During the month of June, the competition was interrupted after the conclusion of the quarterfinals due to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[1]
Estudiantes were the defending champion, but they were eliminated by Brazilian team Internacional in the quarterfinals.
Internacional won the competition after defeating Guadalajara in both legs of the finals for their second Copa Libertadores title.[2] Internacional qualified for both the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2011 Recopa Sudamericana.

Qualified teams
The qualified teams include the 37 teams who qualified from their league positions and the defending champion Estudiantes of Argentina, plus Mexican clubs Guadalajara and San Luis. Those two Mexican clubs were guaranteed placement in the Round of 16, independent of the other three Mexican clubs, due to the fallout of the H1N1 flu outbreak in Mexico during the 2009 Copa Libertadores.[3] Twenty-six teams qualified directly to the Second Stage, a group stage:[4]
- Berths 1 to 4 from Argentina and Brazil;
- Berths 1 and 2 from the remaining eight South American football associations and Mexico.
The other 12 teams enter the competition in the First Stage, an elimination play-off stage where the winners advance to the Second Stage:[4]
- Berths 5 and 6 from Argentina;<templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>[A]
- Berth 5 from Brazil;
- Berth 3 from the remaining eight South American nations and Mexico.

Tie-breaking criteria
At each stage of the tournament teams receive 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Based on Article 15 in the CONMEBOL regulations, if two or more teams are equal on points, the following criteria will be applied to determine the ranking in the group stage:
- superior goal difference;
- higher number of goals scored;
- higher number of away goals scored;
- draw.
In the first stage, third stage, quarterfinals, and semifinals, a penalty shootout is carried out instead of a draw.[5]
