The 2010 Chatham Cup is New Zealand's 83rd knockout football competition. The 2010 competition had a preliminary round, a qualification round, and four rounds proper before quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final. In all, 135 teams took part in the 2010 competition. ==Draw controversies== There were several problems with the draw of teams for specific ties in the 2010 Chatham Cup. The neutrality of the allotment of teams to specific ties was drawn into question by some observers in the Second Round.〔()〕 A coincidence and a computer glitch combined to produce an "early draft" of the ties which included one of the fixtures later replicated in the live draw. The third round also saw controversy when the draw had to be re-made. Initially, teams were not divided geographically for the Third Round draw, despite the competition rules stating that draws would remain regionally based until the fourth round, and some teams found themselves facing long trips which had not been budgeted for. This forced a re-draw and an apology from NZ Football. Suspicions about the validity of the draw were not assuaged when the Quarter-Final draw resulted in four matches which tallied with the boundaries of New Zealand's three football regions, as would have been the case had the draw still been done on regional lines. This produced two Auckland derbies, one all-Wellington match, and one featuring the two remaining South Island teams.〔Seconi, A. (July 7, 2010) ''Questions over draw but Cavvy fares well.
