The 2009–10 Vanderbilt Commodores women's basketball team represented Vanderbilt University in the 2009–10 NCAA Division I basketball season. The Commodores were a member of the Southeastern Conference.

Offseason

April 23: The Commodores were honored with a joint resolution presented on the floor of the Tennessee House of Representatives which lauded the squad for its successful 2008–09 season. Representative Brenda Gilmore sponsored the resolution in the House after it was original entered by Senator Douglas Henry.
May 18, 2009 : Former Vanderbilt women's basketball stars Christina Wirth and Jennifer Risper are adjusting to professional basketball. Wirth and Risper, now with the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky, helped one another move into their new respective homes this past week. After four years together with the Commodores, separating from each other and the rest of their teammates has been an adjustment. Should they make the final rosters, they will meet three times during the regular season.
On May 28, Ripser and Wirth played against each other. The Sky lost the game 74–67. In the loss, Risper appeared in 9 minutes, had 3 Free Throws, 5 Rebounds, 1 Steal, and 3 points. Christina Wirth played 10 minutes, had 2 free throws, 1 assist, 1 steal, and scored 2 points.
June 17, 2009: The Sommet Center in Nashville, Tenn. will host either the men's or women's SECtournament in each of next four seasons. Nashville was previously revealed as the host of the 2010 men's tournament, and has been awarded the 2011 and 2012 women's tournament and the 2013 men's tournament.
June 25: Jence Rhoads traveled to Austria, Italy and the Czech Republic as part of Athletes International, a non-profit organization that gives American athletes in over a dozen different sports a chance to play around the world.
