The 2010 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group A was contested from 3 July to 30 October 2010. The tournament (also known as the ABSA Under-21 Provincial Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the top tier of 2010 edition of the Under-21 Provincial Championship, an annual Under-21 inter-provincial rugby union competition featuring fourteen South African provincial unions.

The tournament was won by Western Province U21; they beat Blue Bulls U21 43–32 in the final played on 30 October 2010. Boland U21 were relegated to Group B for 2011.

Competition rules and information

There were seven participating teams in the 2010 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group A. These teams played each other twice over the course of the season, once at home and once away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams qualified for the title play-off semi-finals. The team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The final would be played as a curtain raiser for the 2010 Currie Cup Premier Division final.

The team that finished bottom of Group A had to play in a promotion/relegation play-off against the champion of Group B for a place in the 2011 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group A.
