The 2010 AC St. Louis season was the club's first and last season of professional soccer. The Saints in the NASL Conference of the USSF D2 Pro League, the second tier of the American Soccer Pyramid. The league was a temporary professional soccer league created by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) in 2010 to last just one season, as a compromise between the feuding United Soccer Leagues (USL) and the North American Soccer League (NASL).

St. Louis played their home games at the Anheuser-Busch Center in nearby Fenton, Missouri. The team's colors are green, white and yellow. The team began the season coached by Claude Anelka, the older brother of French international striker Nicolas Anelka, but Dale Schilly replaced Anelka as head coach 24 June 2010.
