The 2010 Haarlem Baseball Week was an international baseball competition held at the Pim Mulier Stadium in Haarlem, the Netherlands from July 9–18, 2010. It was the 25th edition of the tournament.

On July 17, the Netherlands won the tournament for the third time, by winning after 10 innings against Japan.

Originally, Venezuela would appear for the first time at the Baseball Week, but due to problems getting visa for Puerto Rico, where the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games were set to be held, the organization of the tournament had to withdraw the team.
