XENON10 is a new direct dark matter detection experiment using liquid xenon as target for weakly interacting, massive particles (WIMPs). A two-phase (liquid/gas) time projection chamber with 15 kg fiducial mass has been installed in a low-background shield at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory in July 2006. After initial performance tests with various calibration sources, the science data run started on August 24, 2006. The detector has been running stably since then, and a full analysis of more than 75 live days of WIMP search data is now in progress. We present first results on gamma and neutron calibration runs, as well as a preliminary analysis of a subset of the WIMP search data.
