The 1910 New Hampshire football team[a] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[b] during the 1910 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. Under first-year head coach Ray B. Thomas,[3] the team finished with a record of 2–3–1.

Schedule

Scoring during this era awarded five points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and three points for a field goal. Teams played in the one-platoon system. Games were now played in four quarters;[4] in earlier seasons, two halves were played.[5] This was the first season that "allow[ed] a man to return to the game after once being removed".[4]
