The 10th Gulf Cup of Nations or Arabian Gulf Cup (Arabic: كأس الخليج العربي), was held in Kuwait, between February 21 to March 9, 1990. All matches were played at Peace & Friendship Stadium.

Saudi Arabia withdrew before the tournament, as they considered that the horses in the competition logo were a reference to two animals used by the Kuwaitis in the Battle of Jahra in 1920.[1] Iraq also withdrew while the tournament was still running, complaining about the referee on their tie with the UAE.[2]
