The 1910 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team represented the University of Nebraska as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) during the 1910 college football season. The team was coached by fourth-year head coach William C. "King" Cole and played its home games at Nebraska Field in Lincoln, Nebraska.[1]

The Cornhuskers won the MVC championship, the school's first since 1907. After the season, the conference adopted a new rule prohibiting "special coaching" and requiring that athletic coaches be full-time faculty members.[2] Unwilling to commit to a year-round position, Cole resigned and moved to his farm in Missoula, Montana. His final game at Nebraska was a record-setting 119–0 win over Haskell.[3]
