The 2009–10 I-League (known as the ONGC I-League for sponsorship reasons) was the 3rd season of the I-League since its establishment in 2007. A total of 14 teams competed in the league, with Dempo unseating the defending champions Churchill Brothers. The season also saw the relegation of Sporting Clube de Goa and Shillong Lajong F.C. to the 2011 I-League 2nd Division.

Rule Changes
India became the latest member association to adopt AFC’s 3+1 rule which will allow clubs to recruit one player of Asian origin in addition to their regular quota of three foreigners.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) executive committee decided to embrace the new AFC rule which encourages the mobility of talented Asian players and provides a fillip to the regional game.
