2010 was the third competitive season for the Cairns based Skill360 Northern Pride Rugby League Football Club'.

On 1 April 2010 the Pride launched a Facebook page, 'northernpriderugbyleague', and from Round 3 they started posting live score updates during matches.

[6] The Pride played most of their home games at Barlow Park this season, but during May the ground was unavailable while the athletics track was replaced.

[7] Rugby League Magazine tipped the Pride to win the competition this year, but the start of the season under their new coach did not go well.

[8] Round 1 was a rematch with the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles, who had beaten the Pride in last year's grand final.

[9] After thirteen rounds they had only had five wins, but then, in the latter half of the season they won nine consecutive matches to finish in fourth place.

Now in their second consecutive Grand Final, the Pride beat Norths Devils 30–20 at Suncorp Stadium to become Premiers for the first time.

Captain Chris Sheppard won the Duncan Hall Medal for his man-of-the-match performance in the Grand Final, which was his last game before retirement.

Thirteen new players made their debut this season; ten were new signings (Aisea Namoa, Ben Fitzpatrick, Ben Spina, Brenton Bowen, Jaiman Lowe, Jay Aston, Mark Dalle Cort, Ryan Stig, Taputoa Sonny Rea and Theeran Pearson), and three were new Cowboys allocation players (Dane Hogan, Kaine Manihera and Michael Bani).

The NAIDOC Week jersey was unveiled at the launch of the Pride's 'Reconciliation Action Plan', which had been accepted by Reconciliation Australia, a first for any rugby league club in the country.

[17] The jersey was designed by local indigenous artists, Aboriginal man Kevin Edmondston and Torres Strait Islander Joey Laifoo, and was manufactured by EMU Sportswear in Townsville.

The Norths Devils finished the regular season in second and defeated the minor premiers Souths Logan in the first week of the finals.

The Pride regained their 18-point lead when bench forward Rod Griffin steamrolled his way through to score four minutes after the break.
