2010 Swedish Touring Car Championship

The 2010 Swedish Touring Car Championship season was the 15th and last Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC) season. Four of the race weekends were held together with the Danish Touring Car Championship and the results from these races also counted towards the Scandinavian Touring Car Cup. From 2011, the new Scandinavian Touring Car Championship replaced both the Swedish and the Danish Touring Car Championships.[1]

Richard Göransson won the championship, defeating Robert Dahlgren by two points, having trailed Dahlgren into the final race.
