The 2009–10 HV71 season saw HV71's attempt to win the Swedish Championship title after having lost the previous season's final, which they succeeded to do. It was the 26th season in the Swedish elite league Elitserien for the club.

HV71 won the playoffs, beating Timrå IK 4–1 in the quarter final series, Skellefteå AIK 4–1 in the semi final series, and Djurgårdens IF 4–2 in the final series.

HV71 started the season in the beginning of August playing in the Nordic Trophy, which this year only consisted of Swedish teams.^[1] After having won the tournament round-robin stage, HV71 lost against Linköpings HC in the semi-final but clinched the bronzed medal defeating Frölunda HC. HV71 was also rewarded with 30,000 euro; 20,000 for winning the series and 10,000 for the bronze medal.^[2] On September 21, HV71 played its first game of the season, defeating Linköpings HC away with the score 6–2.^[3]

After 54 games of the regular season, HV71 lead the league table with one point over the second placed team, Linköpings HC. The last game of the regular season, HV71 faced Linköping away and managed to tie the game and win the regular season championship.
