The 1990 King Cup was the 32nd season of the knockout competition since its establishment in 1956. Al-Hilal were the defending champions but they were eliminated by Al-Riyadh in the Round of 16.[1] This season was the final season of the competition. The King Cup then returned under the name of King Cup of Champions in 2008.[2]

As winners of the tournament, Al-Nassr qualified for both the 1991 Arab Cup Winners' Cup and the 1991–92 Asian Cup Winners' Cup.
