Finals

The semi-finals began with controversy when West Coast Rugby Football Union were effectively expelled from the competition:

"West Coast, with three wins and two bonus points, had gained sufficient championship points to qualify for the Lochore Cup semi-finals but the team’s endeavors were ruined when the NZRU fined West Coast $2500 and stripped it of live competition points for knowingly breaching the eligibility regulations during the game against Wairarapa Bush which the Coast had won and gained a bonus point for scoring four tries." – West Coast Rugby Football Union[3]

The Meads Cup semi-finals were won by North Otago and Whanganui, defeating Mid-Canterbury and Poverty Bay respectively.[2] In the Lochore Cup, Wairarapa Bush and Buller progressed to the final by beating King Country and Horowhenua-Kapiti respectively.[2]

In the final of the Meads Cup, North Otago won the game 39–18 over Whanganui in the match on 30 October at Whitestone Contracting Stadium.[4][5]

The 2010 Lochore Cup was won 15–9 by Wairarapa Bush in the game against Buller.[6]
