The 2010 European Amateur Team Championship took place 6–10 July at Österåker Golf Club in Åkersberga, 20 kilometres northeast of Stockholm, Sweden.^[1][2] It was the 28th men's golf European Amateur Team Championship.

The club was founded in 1988 and its Västerled course, opened the same year, was co-designed by Sven Tumba and Jan Sederholm.

Each team consisted of 6 players, playing two rounds of stroke-play over two days, counting the five best scores each day for each team.

Tied leaders of the opening 36-hole competition were team Denmark and team Italy, each with a 1-over-par score of 721. Denmark earned first place on the tie breaking better non-counting scores. Host nation Sweden, tied 14th after the first round, was close to miss the quarter finals, but finally, by a single stroke, took the last place among the top eight, ahead of three teams. Sweden eventually came close to winning the championship. Defending champions Scotland were among the teams which finished one stroke from qualifying for the quarter finals.

There was no official award for the lowest individual score, but individual leader was Nino Bertasio, Italy, with a 10-under-par score of 134, four strokes ahead of Morten Ørum Madsen, Denmark.

The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team were drawn to play the quarter final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the two morning foursome games and five players in to the afternoon single games. Teams knocked out after the quarter finals were allowed to play one foursome game and four single games in each of their remaining matches. Games all square at the 18th hole were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.

The eight teams placed 9–16 in the qualification stroke-play formed flight B, to play similar knock-out play, with one foursome game and four single games in each match, to decide their final positions.

The four teams placed 17–20 formed flight C, to play each other in a round-robin system, with one foursome game and four single games in each match, to decide their final positions.

Team England won the gold medal, earning their tenth title, beating team Sweden in the final 41⁄2–21⁄2.

Team Italy, earned the bronze on third place, after beating Spain 5–2 in the bronze match.
