Subregionals

Berkeley Knoxville Minneapolis Norfolk South Bend Tempe Louisville Palo Alto Durham Norman Seattle Pittsburgh Cincinnati Tallahassee Ames 2010 NCAA subregionals — Green 21 & 23 March — Orange 20 & 22 March

The format is the same as the Men's Tournament, except that there are 64 teams and no play-in game. There are 31 automatic bids for conference champions and 33 at-large bids available. The subregionals, based on the "pod system" keeping teams at or close to home, will be at these locations from March 21 through 24. Prior to the committee's decision to expand the number of subregional sites to sixteen, eight sites were chosen. This list included the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, New Jersey. When the decision was made to increase the number of sites to sixteen, Trenton declined to participate.

The remaining seven sites continue to be part of the final list of sixteen:
