The 2010 Beach Handball World Championships was a twelve-team tournament in both men's and women's beach handball , held at Antalya in Turkey from 23 June 2010 to 27 June 2010. It was the fourth edition of the event. Matches were played in sets, the team that wins two sets was the winner of a match. When teams are equal in points the head-to-head result was decisive.
The twelve teams were split into two groups of six teams. After playing a round-robin , the three top-ranked teams advanced to the main round. Every team kept the points from preliminary round matches against teams who also advanced. In the main round every team had three games against the opponents they did not face in the preliminary round. The top four teams advanced to the semifinals. The three bottom-ranked teams from each preliminary round group were packed into one group. The points won against the teams who were also in this group would be valid. Every team had three games and after those rounds there were placement matches from 7th to 12th.
