The 2009–10

Moldovan National Division (Romanian: Divizia Națională) was the 19th season of top-tier football in Moldova. The season began on 5 July 2008, with the final round of matches played on 16 May 2009. Sheriff Tiraspol
retained their title as defending champions.

Team changes

On 6 June 2009,

Tiligul-Tiras Tiraspol announced that the club would dissolve, citing a lack of funds as the reason.[1] As a consequence, Academia Chișinău were spared from relegation. The 2008–09 season had already been absolved with only eleven teams after FC Politehnica Chișinău
withdrew their participation just days before the scheduled start.

The two vacant league spots were filled with

Viitorul Orhei and 11th-placed Sfîntul Gheorghe, who bought their way into the top level.[citation needed
