2010 Championship
The 2010 World Lacrosse Championship was held in Manchester, England from July 15 to July 24. For the first time in the history of the World Lacrosse Championships, a FIL World Lacrosse Festival had been sanctioned to run alongside the FIL World Championships.
With more nations entering, the Round Robin stage of the tournament now featured 30 nations and was split into 7 divisions; considerably larger than ever before. The Iroquois Nationals were forbidden from participating due to the host nation not recognizing the validity of their passports.
Keeping with the colour themed divisions from previous Championships, in addition to the Blue, Red, Orange and Yellow divisions there would also now be Plum, Turquoise and Gray divisions.
The United States defeated Canada 12-10 in the Gold medal game to capture their ninth victory at the World Lacrosse Championships.
