The 2009–10 USHL season is the 30th season of the United States Hockey League as an all-junior league. The regular season began on October 2, 2009 and concluded on April 3, 2010^[1] with the regular season champion winning the Anderson Cup. The 2009–10 USHL season was the first to include both the Youngstown Phantoms and the US Nation Team Development Program, both of whom left the North American Hockey League. As a result of two new teams being added to the East Division, the Des Moines Buccaneers were moved to the West Division.

The Clark Cup playoffs features the top four teams from each division competing for the league title.
