Cypriot First Division 2009–10 will be the 73rd season of the Cypriot top-level football league. It will start sometime in late August. The defending champions are APOEL.
Competition modus
Fourteen teams will participate in the competition. Eleven of them have also competed in the 2008–09 season while the remaining three teams were promoted from the Second Division.
Each team will play against every other team twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 26 matches. After these matches, the two teams with the worst records will be relegated to the Second Division. The remaining twelve teams will be divided into three groups of four teams each.
The teams ranked first through fourth will play out the champion and the participants for the European competitions. Teams ranked ninth through 12th will determine the third relegated club, while the remaining four teams will play a placement round. Every team plays twice against its group opponents. Regular season records are carried over without any modifications.

Overview
Stadia and locations
Due to the ongoing Cypriot separation, several clubs originally located in the Northern part of the island play "in exile" in the Southern part. Further, not all home grounds fulfil the requirements for Cypriot top-level football. Thus, the map depicts the current home ground of each team and not its original location.
