It agreed options for another 25.
The deal is the worth nearly $7 billion at list prices.
"Qatar Airways very much looks forward to adding the 737-10 to its fleet, with this new variant of the 737 being ideally suited to our short-haul network," said Qatar Airways Group Akbar al-Baker.
The Doha-based airline also placed a firm order for 34 new Boeing 777-8 freighters plus further options.
It is one-of the biggest cargo aircraft deals of its kind.
