Teams
Farul Constanţa, Otopeni and Gloria Buzău were relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season. They were joined by Argeş Piteşti, who were demoted upon a decision of the Professional Football League on 8 July 2009, after their owner, Cornel Penescu, was found guilty of corruption.[1] As a consequence, 15th-placed Gaz Metan Mediaş were spared relegation.
The four relegated teams were replaced by the champions and runners-up from both 2008–09 Liga II divisions. Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ and Ploieşti were promoted from Seria I while Unirea Alba Iulia and Internaţional Curtea de Argeş were promoted from Seria II.
Promoted team FC Ploieşti were renamed FC Astra Ploieşti, effective to 1 July 2009.[2]

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head points; 3) head-to-head goal difference; 4) head-to-head goals scored; 5) goal difference; 6) number of goals scored
1 Since 2009–10 Cupa României winners CFR Cluj and runners-up Vaslui qualified for European competitions via their league placement, the allocation of UEFA Europa League spots effectively reverted to league placement as well, with the 6th-placed team Dinamo Bucureşti also qualifying.
2 Internaţional were denied a licence for the 2010–11 season because they failed to meet the requirements. Pandurii Târgu Jiu as the best-placed relegated team were therefore spared from relegation.
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (E) = Eliminated; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round.
