The 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from January 30 to February 7 at the Essar Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.[1]

The event was described as having a weaker field than normal, as many of the usual provincial champions did not qualify. The event featured only two teams that have won the Scotties before: Jennifer Jones who qualified as last year's champion, and Kelly Scott of British Columbia. Making her first trip to the Scotties as a skip is Saskatchewan's Amber Holland, who won the 2008 Players' Championships. Ontario will be represented by Krista McCarville who won a bronze medal at the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. Making their second trips to the Scotties as skips are Quebec's Ève Bélisle, and Nova Scotia's Nancy McConnery. New Brunswick will be represented by former Canadian Junior champion Andrea Kelly who is making her third appearance at the event. Newfoundland and Labrador will be represented former Canadian Mixed Champion Shelley Nichols, while P.E.I. will also be represented by a Canadian Mixed champion in Kathy O'Rourke. Making their debuts as skips are Alberta's Val Sweeting, Manitoba's Jill Thurston and the Territories' Sharon Cormier.
