The fifth annual D3football.com All-Region Teams were announced on Dec. 10, 2009.

Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools, who were contacted multiple times as the season wound down to remind them to make their players eligible. There were 722 players nominated nationwide. All-Region teams were selected in balloting by sports information directors in each region and D3football.com staff.

All players nominated for All-Region are eligible to be considered for the D3football.com All-America Team.
