The 2010 Pacific hurricane season will be an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It will officially start 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. Systems that form or cross the International Date Line and stay north of the equator are called typhoons; see 2010 Pacific typhoon season.

Storms

At this time no storms have formed within the East or Central Pacific basin.

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 , 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.
