== Main round ==
The eight teams qualified from the Group Matches were drawn into two groups. Each group contained two winners and two second placed teams, in a way that clubs which had faced each other at Group Matches would not meet again in this round. The first and second placed teams of each group played in the semifinals.

The draw for the round took place in [[Linz]], [[Austria]] on 19 January 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurohandball.com/article/12823|title=All eyes on the draw!|date=17 January 2010|publisher=EHF|accessdate=19 January 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100121140051/http://www.eurohandball.com/article/12823| archivedate= 21 January 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref>
