The 2010 Lory Meagher Cup was the 2nd annual fourth-tier hurling competition organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association. The teams competing were Cavan, Donegal, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Longford, South Down, and Warwickshire. The 2009 champions, Tyrone were promoted to the 2010 Nicky Rackard Cup, and did not have the opportunity to defend their title.
