The 2009–10 Orlando Magic season was the Magic's 21st season in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The Magic were coming off of an NBA Finals defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.
The season was significant as it signaled the conclusion of the Magic's tenure at the Amway Arena as their designated home venue.
The team traded for Vince Carter before the 2009-10 season. The inclusion of Carter aimed to provide the Magic with a seasoned NBA perimeter superstar to complement Dwight Howard's abilities. This was in response to the 2009 NBA Finals defeat at the hands of the Kobe Bryant-led Los Angeles Lakers.
The Magic would replicate their previous regular season performance and boasted the NBA's fourth highest offensive rating among all teams.
During the playoffs, the Magic swept the Charlotte Bobcats in four games in the First Round and swept the Atlanta Hawks in four games in the semi-finals. In the conference finals the Magic were favoured but ultimately lost to the Boston Celtics in six games. The Celtics would go on to lose to the Lakers in the Finals.
As of 2024, this was the last season the Magic won a playoff series.
