The 2010 American League Division Series (ALDS) were two best-of-five game series to determine the participating teams in the 2010 American League Championship Series. The three divisional winners and a fourth "Wild Card" team (the team with the best record among teams not winning their division) played in two series from October 6 to 12. TBS televised all games in the United States. The Rangers went on to defeat the Yankees in the ALCS, then lose the 2010 World Series to the National League champion San Francisco Giants.
