There was no contemporaneous system in 1910 for determining a national champion. However, Harvard was retroactively named as the national champion by the Billingsley Report, Helms Athletic Foundation, and Houlgate System, and as a co-national champion by the National Championship Foundation.^{[2]: 112–114}

Three Harvard players were consensus first-team selections on the 1910 All-American football team: halfback Percy Wendell, guard Bob Fisher, and tackle Robert McKay.^[3] Other notable players included fullback/halfback Hamilton Corbett (chosen as All-American by Wilton S. Farnsworth of the New York Evening Journal),^[4] ends Lawrence Dunlap Smith and Richard Plimpton Lewis, tackle Lothrop "Ted" Withington, and guard Wayland Minot (chosen as first-team All-American by The New York Times).^[5]
