Which team won the MLS Cup in 2010?

The Colorado Rapids won the MLS Cup in 2010.

The final was played on November 21, 2010, at BMO Field in Toronto, where Colorado defeated FC Dallas 2–1 after extra time. FC Dallas took the lead through David Ferreira, but Conor Casey equalized for the Rapids. Colorado then secured the championship with a late own goal by Dallas defender George John.

The victory was the Rapids’ first MLS Cup championship and the first major trophy in club history. Conor Casey was named MLS Cup MVP after scoring Colorado’s equalizer, while Gary Smith managed the title-winning team. The match was especially notable because neither finalist had previously won an MLS Cup, guaranteeing a first-time champion.

This result is sometimes confused with Colorado’s other notable postseason achievements or with the Supporters’ Shield, which recognizes the best regular-season record rather than the playoff champion. The MLS Cup is decided through the league’s postseason tournament, and Colorado’s 2–1 extra-time victory made the Rapids the ninth different club to win the competition.
