The 1990 Australian Football League season was the 94th season of the elite Australian rules football competition, and the first under the name 'Australian Football League', having switched from 'Victorian Football League' after 1989.
Essendon defeated North Melbourne 17.10 (112) to 10.16 (76)
All teams played 22 games during the home and away season, for a total of 154. An additional 7 games were played during the finals series.
This was Collingwood's 14th VFL/AFL premiership, ending 32 years of heartbreak as the Magpies had lost each of the eight Grand Finals it had contested since it won the 1958 Grand Final (it had also drawn the 1977 VFL Grand Final then lost the replay the following week).
Total match attendance for the home-and-away season was 3,587,595 people. Total attendance for the finals series was 475,790 people.
