The 9th Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships were held in Havana, Cuba, between 6–8 July 1990.

Medal summary[]

Medal winners are published by category: Junior A, Male,[1] Junior A, Female,[2] and Junior B.[3] Complete results can be found on the World Junior Athletics History website.[4]

There are some differences between the results in the different sources. The Rules for the Central American and Caribbean Track and Field Championships regulate : "Each country can enter a maximum of two (2) competitors per individual event with the exception of the 1/2 marathon in which three competitors per country may be allowed."[5] Therefore, it is assumed that additional athletes from host country Cuba started out of competition, especially in the field events, and were not eligible for gaining championships medals.
