The 1990 Kent Cup was an invitational non-ranking snooker tournament held at the Yuetan Stadium in Beijing in 1990. Marcus Campbell won the event, defeating Tom Finstad 4–1 in the final. The tournament was promoted by Pro-Tex Sports Management, a Hong Kong company, working with the China Billiards and Snooker Association.[1]
There were four groups of three players, with each group played on a round-robin, and the winner from each group progressing to the semifinals. The group matches were decided on the aggregate score across two frames. Of the group winners, the losing semi-finalists were Ken Doherty, who was the reigning IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championship and IBSF World Snooker Championship holder; and Sakchai Sim-Ngam, who progressed from a group that included Jon Birch, the 1989 IBSF World championship runner-up.
