The seeding in the preliminary round was based on the final standings at the 2009 IIHF InLine Hockey World Championship and 2009 IIHF InLine Hockey World Championship Division I. The teams were grouped accordingly by seeding at the previous year's tournament (in parenthesis is the corresponding seeding):

Each teams roster for the 2010 IIHF InLine Hockey World Championship consisted of at least 8 skaters (forwards, and defencemen) and 2 goaltenders, and at most 16 skaters and 3 goaltenders.

Eight participating teams were placed in the following two groups. After playing a round-robin, the top three teams in each group advanced to the Playoff round. The last team in each group competed in the Qualification Games.

All games were played at the Löfbergs Lila Arena in Karlstad.
