The Spanish team narrowly missed out on the bronze medal at the 2010 Ladies World Team Championship in Argentina, which concluded at the Buenos Aires Golf Club and Los Olivos courses. Carlota Ciganda, Marta Silva, and Mireia Prat lost the bronze medal by just one stroke on their most disappointing day.

After their outstanding performance in the third round, the team captained by Macarena Campomanes had the opportunity to finish the job, but once again the challenging Los Olivos course stood in the way of the Spanish players. The rounds of Marta Silva (73 strokes, 1 over par), who recovered from a double bogey on the 2nd hole, and those of her two teammates, who both shot 75 strokes (+3), were tallied, for a total of 148.

The title went to South Korea, which not only took the gold but also swept the podium in the individual competition – Jung-Eun Han, Ji-Hee Kim, and Hyun-Soo Kim were the key players. The United States took second place, and Sweden, France, and South Africa shared third.

Spain got off to a remarkable start at the Buenos Aires Golf Club, accumulating 142 strokes thanks to a 69 from Marta Silva (-3) and a 73 (+1) from Carlota Ciganda. However, the following day at Los Olivos, Spain dropped from fourth to thirteenth place due to a disappointing round from the trio. Carlota Ciganda's 72 (par) and Mireia Prat's 73 (+1) combined for a total of 147 strokes.

In the third round, Spain revived its medal hopes with a strong team performance. With a total of 138 strokes, and led by Mireia Prat's 68 (-4), Spain was smiling again.

The Spanish trio's objective was to improve upon the performance of the team that traveled to Australia in 2008 (Carlota Ciganda, Azahara Muñoz, and Belén Mozo), and that meant winning the gold medal. The team secured the silver medal at the Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Australia, finishing only behind Sweden, who accumulated 12 fewer strokes than the Spanish team in the final standings. Furthermore, Azahara Muñoz earned the bronze medal in the individual competition, sharing the podium with the Swedish pair Caroline Hedwall and Anna Nordqvist, the tournament's standout performers.

Two victories adorn Spain's record in this competition since its inception in 1964. These came in Venezuela in 1986 and Canada in 1992. Macarena Campomanes, María Carmen Navarro, and María Orueta – in the 1986 edition – and Macarena Campomanes, Estefanía Knuth, and Laura Navarro in 1992 were the architects of those historic triumphs. Spain also won the bronze medal in the 1980 and 2002 editions.
