This is a list of earthquakes in 1910. Only earthquakes that had a magnitude of 6.0 or greater appear on the list. Lower magnitude events were included if they had caused death, injury or damage. Events which occurred in remote areas were excluded from the list as they wouldn't have generated significant media interest. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The southwest Pacific Ocean area near New Hebrides and New Caledonia was particularly active that year.
