Final

The final would originally have been played as a single match on 25 April 2010 at De Kuip, Rotterdam. However, on 15 April the Dutch FA announced that the final was going to be played over two matches, because Ajax supporters were not allowed to visit matches in De Kuip since 2009 and vice versa. The first leg was played at Amsterdam as scheduled before, and the return leg competed on 6 May at Rotterdam. This was the first two-leg final since the 1982–83 KNVB Cup Final.
