The 2009–10 FA Cup was the 129th season of the world's oldest football knockout competition; The Football Association Challenge Cup, or FA Cup for short. As in the previous year, 762 clubs were accepted for the competition.[1] One club, Newcastle Blue Star, folded before the fixtures were released. As they were scheduled to enter the competition in the First Round Qualifying, their opponents in this round received a walkover.
The competition commenced on 15 August 2009 with the Extra Preliminary Round and concluded on 15 May 2010 with the Final, held at Wembley Stadium. The final was contested by 2009 winners Chelsea and 2008 winners Portsmouth. Originally, the winners were to qualify for the play-off round of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League. However, as Chelsea won the 2009–10 Premier League (and do not need the FA Cup winners' berth), and Portsmouth did not apply for a UEFA license for the 2010–11 season (and are ineligible to compete in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League), the berth was given to Aston Villa, the sixth-placed team in the Premier League. Chelsea won 1-0 in the final to retain the trophy.
