    Wireshark doesn't care whether the interface is 1Gbps or 10Gbps, so it should support it. Please give more info about your 10G NIC information, the OS on the system etc. – pktCoder Feb 28 '16 at 03:48

Does tcpdump supports 10 G data packets to capture?

The answer is: Yes.

Because:

tcpdump/ wireshark or rather the underlying pcap software does not care at all about 10baseT, 100baseT, 1000baseT, one gazillion peta-bits-OMG-look-how-fast-I-go per seconds or more.

But you will/may have issues on your CPU, RAM, disk access bandwidth. Because 10 giga-bits per seconds is a pretty heavy load no matter the software - this becomes a hardware issue.
