The 2009–10 Illinois Fighting Illini women's basketball team will represent the University of Illinois in the 2009–10 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. It will be the 36th year of Illinois women's basketball. The Fighting Illini are a member of the Big 10 and will attempt to win their second Big Ten Championship and the NCAA championship.

At the event, the Illinois men's and women's basketball teams held their first practice of the season immediately following the football game on a specially constructed outdoor court in the stadium's South end zone. Over 60,000 fans witnessed the practice, which also helped raise more than $20,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer. The World's Biggest Basketball Practice marked the largest crowd ever for a men's basketball practice and is the highest attendance to witness any women's basketball event. This honor marks the third year in a row that the Illinois marketing department has been awarded gold by NACMA for a Single-Day Attendance promotion.

Jenna Smith was an all Big 10 selection the previous two seasons. Destiny Williams transferred to Baylor on January 20. The six incoming freshmen are ranked as the No. 3 recruiting class by ESPN HoopGurlz. Destiny Williams is a McDonald’s All-American.
