The 10th International Indian Film Academy Awards (informally known as the Decadial IIFA Awards) were a major film awards ceremony honoring the best Bollywood films of 2008. The ceremony was held in The Venetian Macao, Macau from 11 June to 13 June 2009. The choice of Macau as host city was considered a well-planned decision, aimed at reducing tensions between India and China,^[2] as well as to end the "deadlock" between the two countries over the issue of exchange of cinema. The ceremony was hosted by Boman Irani, Ritesh Deshmukh and Lara Dutta.

IIFA completed 10 years of existence in 2009, giving awards to numerous prominent film personalities. In honour of this landmark, five special IIFA Awards were awarded that year, and these awards were collectively called as the IIFA Golden Decade Honors (also as the Artists of the Decade Awards).^[3]

Jodhaa Akbar led the ceremony with 13 nominations, followed by Race with 9 nominations, Rock On!! with 8 nominations, and Dostana and Ghajini with 6 nominations each.

Jodhaa Akbar won 10 awards, including Best Film, Best Director (for Ashutosh Gowariker) and Best Actor (for Hrithik Roshan), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.
