The 2010 Jamaican Mathematical Olympiad was a national mathematical competition open to all high school students in Jamaica. This competition was implemented by The University of the West Indies in association with Sterling Asset Management Limited. The students who entered competed for a selection as a National Mathematics Champion at their grade level. In addition, they competed to be one of the top overall performers who met the age requirements of the competition. The three who are been selected will travel to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico this month to compete in the 12th Centro 2010 Regional Mathematical Olympiad against other competing countries from across the globe.

The awards ceremony was held on Saturday May 8, 2010 at the Mona Visitors’ Lodge and Conference Centre, UWI. There, the top three students of each category were given their awards. The 2010 Jamaican Mathematical Olympiad Team is comprised of the three highest ranked students, as well as two alternatives.
