2009–10 FA Cup qualifying rounds


The 2009–10 FA Cup qualifying rounds opened the 129th season of competition in England for 'The Football Association Challenge Cup', the world's oldest association football single knockout competition. As in the previous year, 762 clubs were accepted for the competition.
The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down in the English football pyramid meant that the competition started with six rounds of preliminary and qualifying knockouts for these non-League teams. The 32 winning teams from Fourth Round Qualifying progressed to the First Round Proper, where League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 entered the competition.
