The 2010 Shamrock Rovers F.C. season was the club's 89th season competing in the League of Ireland and the team's second season under the stewardship of Michael O'Neill. The team finished the season as League of Ireland champions, narrowly beating rivals Bohemians to the title by virtue of a better goal difference.[1][2]
Gary Twigg concluded the season as the league's top goalscorer for the second season in succession. The Hoops reached the FAI Cup final, the semifinals of the League of Ireland Cup, the quarterfinals of the Leinster Senior Cup and defeated Bnei Yehuda of Israel in the second qualifying round of the Europa League before losing to Juventus in the next round.
The team played a direct style of football throughout the season, with Michael O'Neill generally employing the 4–5–1 formation.[3]
Preseason
The club made a number of signings during the off-season and preseason in an effort to strengthen the squad. Enda Stevens and James Chambers were signed at the end of 2009, the former agreeing to a one year contract.[4][5] They were joined by Chris Turner, Craig Walsh and Billy Dennehy in January 2010, while Dan Murray and Danny Murphy signed for the club in February.[6][7] The signing of Chris Turner was disputed by Sligo Rovers and eventually sanctioned in March.[8][9] The team played four preseason friendlies, winning three and drawing one.
