The '''2009–10 UCI Africa Tour''' was the sixth season of the [[UCI Africa Tour]]. The season began on 1 October 2009 with the [[Grand Prix Chantal Biya]] and ended on 21 May 2010 with the [[Tour of Eritrea]].

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI Africa Tour [[cycling jersey]]. [[Dan Craven]] of Namibia was the defending champion of the [[2008–09 UCI Africa Tour]]. [[Abdelatif Saadoune]] of Morocco was crowned as the 2009–10 UCI Africa Tour champion.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.
The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:
* Multi-day events: 2.HC, 2.1 and 2.2
* One-day events: 1.HC, 1.1 and 1.2
