The 2010 St. Louis Cardinals season was the 129th season for the St. Louis Cardinals, a Major League Baseball franchise in St. Louis, Missouri. It was the 119th season for the Cardinals in the National League and their 5th at Busch Stadium III.
The Cardinals began their season on the road against the Cincinnati Reds on April 5. St. Louis was coming off a 91–71 (.562) season and first place in the National League Central, followed by a quick playoff exit when they were swept in the NLDS versus Los Angeles. In 2010, however, the Cardinals fell back to the same record of 2008 (86–76), finishing second in the National League Central to the Reds by five games.
