Sydney New Year's Eve 2009–10 was the 15th Sydney New Year's Eve held at Sydney Harbour on the evening of 31 December 2009 and in the early hours of 1 January 2010. The Nine Network broadcast the event for the first time since the 2005–06 event, regaining the rights back from Network Ten after their three-year deal had ended and was co-hosted by Leila McKinnon and Cameron Williams. On 1 December 2009, the theme was revealed to be "Awaken the Spirit" with fireworks once again produced by Foti International Fireworks. It was Rhoda Roberts' second consecutive year as creative director.
