The 1990 NCAA Basketball Tournament was the 66th season in the Philippine National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The season started on August 5 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium and ended with the Mapua Cardinals breaking the 16-year cycle and won the seniors crown, dethroning the defending champion San Sebastian Stags.

Seniors' tournament

Elimination round

Format:

  • Tournament divided into two halves: winners of the two halves dispute the championship in a best-of-3 finals series unless:
    • A team wins both rounds. In that case, the winning team automatically wins the championship.
    • A third team has a better cumulative record than both finalists. In that case, the third team has to win in a playoff against the team that won the second round to face the team that won in the first round in a best-of-3 finals series.
