The 10th Gulf Cup of Nations or Arabian Gulf Cup (Arabic: كأس الخليج العربي), was held in Kuwait, between 21 February to 9 March 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. Iraq also withdrew while the tournament was still running, complaining about the referee on their tie with the UAE.
