The 64-team double elimination tournament concluded with the 2010 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
This was the final year at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, the host venue since 1950.
The South Carolina Gamecocks won two elimination games against archrival Clemson in the College World Series semifinals, then defeated the UCLA Bruins in the second game of the finals on a walk-off single by Whit Merrifield to win the national championship.
Hosted by Clemson at Doug Kingsmore Stadium NOTE: Because Vrooman Field at Charles Watson Stadium was inadequate for NCAA postseason play, Coastal Carolina-hosted games were played at BB&T Coastal Field.
The winners of the two four-team brackets play a best-of-three series for the championship.
