The 2010 Pacific hurricane season is an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It officially started May 15, 2010 for the eastern Pacific, and June 1, 2010 for the central Pacific. These dates delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones tend to form in the basin.

On May 27, 2010, NOAA released their forecast for the 2010 Eastern Pacific and Central Pacific hurricane seasons. They predicted a below-normal level of activity in the Eastern Pacific, with 9 to 15 named storms, of which 4 to 8 were expected to become hurricanes, and 1 to 3 expected to become major hurricanes.
Storms
Storm names
The following names will be used for named storms that form in East Pacific in 2010. Retired names, if any, will be announced by the World Meteorological Organization in the spring of 2011. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2016 season. Names that were not used are marked in gray, and names in bold are storms currently active. This is the same list used in the 2004 season. The first Central Pacific name to be used will be Omeka, if a tropical cyclone forms there.

For the central Pacific Ocean, four consecutive lists are used, with the names used sequentially until exhausted, rather than until the end of the year, due to the low number of storms each year. The next four names are shown here:

Season effects
This is a table of the storms in 2010 and their landfall(s), if any. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still storm-related. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical or a wave or low.
