2009–10 Honduran Liga Nacional

[citation needed] The Torneo Apertura began on July 18, 2009, and ended on November 25, 2009.

Marathón, Motagua, Olimpia and Real España qualified for the Apertura final round after ending the tournament in the top four places.

Two-legged ties in this stage were settled by points: three for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss.

Ties in points in the semifinals were settled first by goal difference, followed by the Classification Stage standings.

A tie in points in the Finals would be settled by goal difference first, followed by two 15-minute extra-time periods, then a penalty shootout if necessary.
