The 2009–10 season of Unirea Urziceni began on 25 July with the first training session, led by the team's head coach Dan Petrescu. After several friendlies the first competitive game was the Romanian Supercup against CFR Cluj on 26 July 2009. The match ended 1–1 in regular time, but CFR Cluj managed to win the cup after the penalty shootout, in which Răzvan Pădureţu, Raul Rusescu and Sorin Frunză missed.

Unirea has made several squad changes, signing former Steaua captain Sorin Paraschiv, former Rapid captain Vasile Maftei and Antonio Semedo. Sorin Rădoi was loaned to Unirea Alba Iulia.
