Qualification
The finals saw three automatic qualifiers joined by five teams from the qualification phase. Qualification consisted of two sections.
- A playoff between the 19th and 20th ranked entrants (Mongolia and Macau)
- Four qualification groups for four teams. Each group winner advanced to the finals, along with the best-ranked runner-up. Because of the withdrawal of Afghanistan the ranking of second-placed teams was excluded results of any matches against fourth-placed sides.[4]

Qualifiers for the final tournament were:
India (Automatic Qualifier) North Korea (Automatic Qualifier) Tajikistan (Automatic Qualifier) Myanmar (Winner Qualification Group A) Turkmenistan (Winner Qualification Group B) Kyrgyzstan (Winner Qualification Group C) Sri Lanka (Winner Qualification Group D) Bangladesh (Best Runner-up)
The draw for the final tournament was held on 30 November 2009 at the Galadari Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka.[5]
