The 2010 Drake Bulldogs football team represented Drake University as a member of the Pioneer Football League (PFL) during the 2010 NCAA Division I FCS football season. Led by third-year head coach Chris Creighton, the Bulldogs compiled an overall record of 7–4 with a mark of 6–2 in conference play, placing third in the PFL. The team played its home games at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

In May 2011, Drake played in the 2011 Kilimanjaro Bowl, the first college football game held on the continent of Africa. The Bulldogs played against an All-Star team of Mexican players from the CONADEIP league, marking the first NCAA Division I bowl game played against a Mexican team since the 1945 Sun Bowl. The idea for the game was conceived by Drake head coach Chris Creighton.[1]
